On this screen the problem is sometimes shown. If not, click View Performance Details in Event Log (Event Viewer). Events in the 100 series are boot events and I believe those in the 200 series are shut down events.

These can be followed up by double-clicking them, then clicking Event Log Online at the bottom. In XP and Vista, Microsoft’s Process Explorer is a boon. I haven‘t tried it in Win7 but I see no reason why it shouldn‘t work.

One other thing that can be done is disabled CTxfihlp.exe in msconfig, that should also fix the issue.
