Might you need to flash the geforce bios? New drivers?

Red face dont format yet
go into adminstrative services and completly disable the nvidia driver helper service. that should help although 7 min is a long time.....

Download a small program called "Enditall", run it prior to restarting/close down and see if this speeds things up.

Program can be downloaded from:

which also has article about the program.

Lightbulb Slow shut down
Before you go through a bid deal - check this:
If you have a Nvidia card - go to services and disable nivida driver helper - this will kill ~20-30sec off you shut down time. If you don't have an Nvidia card then the previous advise may help.
