I think there are may programmes runs in the background. Hence while u shut down your computer the system first closed that programme then shut downs your system. Please check the task manager how many programmes runs there. In My system normally 35/36 programs runs.

start-->>run-->>type regedit and press enter.Registry page will open.Navigate to this:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown value to 0
