system freezes at shutdown
If the system is hanging when you are trying to shutdown or restart the system, it is due the the fact that Windows XP Home and Professional versions allow all services to shut down in 20 seconds. The WaitToKillServiceTimeout value name in the registry allows you to specify a length of time that the service control manager must wait for services to complete the shut-down request.
If all the services are not closed properly, you may across some problems. By increasing the Shutdown time for services most of the problems with the Shutdown will be cleared. Following are the steps:
1. Click Start, Run.
2. Type Regedit and press Enter.
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry.
4. Click Edit and click Add Value.
5. Enter the following:
Value Name: WaitToKillServiceTimeout
Data Type: REG_SZ
String:
5. Click OK.
7. Click File, Exit.
5. Restart the system.
However, the problem occurs if a process does not respond within this time-out period, Windows displays the "Wait, End Task, or Cancel" dialog box for the process, which prompts you to wait for another 20 seconds, stop the process, or cancel the shutdown process.
The problem can be solved by changing the timeout period. Follow the steps given below to do so:
1. Click Start, Run.
2. Type Regedit and press Enter.
3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
4. The "WaitToKillAppTimeout" will be set to 20 seconds, edit and increase the time.
5. Click OK after changing the value.
6. Click File, Exit.
7. Restart the system.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. It is suggestible to take backup of the registry before performing the steps. To backup registry, follow the steps given below:
1. Click Start, Run.
2. Type regedit and press Enter.
3. Click File, Export.
4. Enter a Filename.
The current registry settings will be exported to the specified file.

This issue could be due to various causes. To isolate and resolve this issue I request you to perform the below steps :
Step # 1
Reset the BIOS *******
1. Restart the notebook.
2. Tap the F10 key as soon as the HP logo appears.
3. Using the arrow keys, navigate to Exit menu and select Get defaults values.
4. Navigate to Exit menu and select Save Changes and Exit.
Step # 2
I request you to downloda and install the BIOS update from the below weblink :
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38001-38500/sp38062.exe
Installation Instructions
1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Step # 3
To uninstall Power Management, follow these steps:
1. Click Start
2. Enter device manager into the Start Search field
3. Select the Device Manager tab and choose View Devices By Type.
4. Double-click System Devices and select Advanced Power Management
Support.
5. Click Remove to remove the Advance Power Management Support and
click OK.
6. Click Close to close the System Properties window.
7. Restart the computer when you are prompted.
To reinstall Power Management, take the following steps:
1. Click Start, select Settings, and choose Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Add New Hardware icon.
3. In the Add New Hardware Wizard, click Next until you are prompted
to allow Windows to search for new hardware.
4. Select Yes and click Next.
5. Click Next to start the search. Your system will detect Power
Management.
6. Click Finish.
7. Restart your computer.
Also, I suggest you to clean the vent part of the notebook where the notebook fan is present with a vacuum cleaner for any accumulated dust that could be preventing heat dissipation. The best option to use the laptop is by placing it on a flat surface with proper ventilation so that it minimizes the notebook temperature. Or else place it on a thick flat wooden table/block. Wood absorbs certain amount of heat and minimizes the notebook temperature.
