Disconnect any external peripherals -- firewire and USB hard disks, card
readers, scanners, printers, Zip drives, hubs -- and even put back the
original Apple keyboard and mouse, if they've been changed out for
third-party equipment. See if the shutdown is normal with no periphs
attached. If so, reconnect them one at a time and test until the guilty
party is located.

peace,
