Press ctrl, alt, delete, together, then shut down from the dropdown box.

just hold down the power down for 3 seconds or more and it will force a shutdown,

then restart

Usually it's a program creating this problems.
As a general rule uninstall all the software you don't really need/use (if any)

As a final solution try a registry cleaner utility it "may" help.

The '5' second holding of the on/off button should do it. When you restart the laptop hopefully there will not be any errors but if there are just post them here.

Be carefull when removing programs and cleaning the registy as you can seriously screw-up the pc. Its worth taking a backup of your important files before you start this.
