my comp takes forever to shutdown
I have been reading a lot about page file usage in computer systems, and I am wondering if it could be slowing down my system performance. Even after recently installing 2 gigs of fast DDR corsair with low timings, my computer still takes about 4 minutes to shutdown, sometimes more.
Could somebody please enlighten me? yes, i have norton. What do you suggest i get instead, because it seems to be working great besides causing serious system lag; like no popups or viruses after half a year now.

If you're using Norton antivirus, that's the hogger. Consider replacing.
On one friend's powerful PC, it took more than 10 minutes to boot and 10 to shutdown, without doing anything inbetween too. |

Open up your startups and remove unneeded programs/services. Then defrag.

It's likely that a buggy driver, application, or service is hampering the shutdown process. I've actually seen the latest Adobe Reader cause a lot of this type of problem.
