Check the Event View under Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. This may give you a clue as to what's going on. Chances are there is some process that's still running in the background preventing shutdown/restart.
Also try running Disk Cleanup, Defrag, and check the drivers for your CRT/Monitor. Incorrect monitor drivers can cause hangs on shutdown.
