What does it say when you call Shut Down from the Start Menu?

It sounds as if there is some kind of background application running which is eating up your processes. You need to kill the processes.

Using the shutdown -f -r -t 0 will work just fine for the time being.

Also if you do not know how to kill processes and find out what application is doing this then i suggest for the time being that you create a desktop shortcut and type in the shutdown -f -r -t 0 command in. From then on when you click on that icon the computer should shut down.
