if you're using "xp anti-spy" and have it set to "clear page file on shutdown" , it will cause some sysytems to hang.

Next time you boot, go into safe mode and try a shutdown from there.
If it works fine, you might want to suspect a program or driver update you recently did.
Think about any changes you recently made or use msconfig to try to narrow down a conflict by removing everything from the startup and re-enabling them a few at a time till the problem happens again.
Best of luck,
Dave
