It just locks up right before it suspends/shuts down - the only changes I made between when it did and when it didn't were chipset and video drivers.

  • Installed the new chipset drivers (nForce Unified 4.24)
  • Rebooted OK
  • Installed the new video drivers (Catalyst 4.7)
  • It locked up at the "Windows is shutting down" screen.
  • I reverted back to Catalyst 4.5 but still the same problem.

I don't have an older version of the chipset drivers to revert back to anymore. Boot-up time is incredibly faster, though, 12 seconds as opposed to 45+ before the upgrade; this not shutting itself down or suspending is the only bad thing about the setup now. (Well, that, and the computer never stays off when I hold in the power button, but I attribute that to a crappy PSU)

Any help would be much appreciated.
