My computer doesn't shutdown completely

[Catalin Soare]

Hello again,

I would like to say that this solved the issue. However, I can't be
sure; this problem wasn't happening all the time.
If it won't happen again today (I'll be turning it off a few more
times throughout the day) I guess it's solved for sure.

Thank you!
