when the computers on for the 30 secs, try hitting:

CTRL+ ALT+ DELETE

It should come up with the task manager that tells you what programs etc are currently running, you may see what it is thats causing it on there?

To stop the shutdown-procedure, click on your Start button, click on Run, and then type "cmd" and click OK. This will open up a command-prompt window, in this type the following and press return:

shutdown -a
