run a defragmenter, get rid of all the programs you don't use, etc.
There isn't really anything running now that wasn't running before. After I defrag, it's still kinda slow. Before it would instantly shut down, but now, there is still some time.

Not really in a hurry, it's just a noticable difference between an almost instant shutdown, to now waiting about 15-20 secs. for it to shutdown.
