Windows 7 (64 bit) will not log off and shut down.

hi,
 
i have just formatted my laptop and upgraded to Windows 7 (64bit).
everything looked fine at first, but then, my touchpad would not work properly, then my disc drive appeared not to recognize any discs that ive been trying to open, and finally, the system
just would not shut down.
it just freezes on the log-off screen saying 'logging off' but thats it.
is it possible that something went wrong with the install? can anyone help?

Hi a.banana,
What happens when trying to access the CD\DVD drive?

Try updating the Touchpad drivers from the manufacturer’s website and then check for the issue.
Step 1:
Let’s check for the issue in ‘Safe Mode with Networking’.
Below are the steps which talks about how to get into ‘Safe Mode with Networking’:
1.     Restart your computer if it is powered on.
2.     Tap the F8 key after your computer initially powers on.
3.     Once you see the Advanced Boot Options menu you can stop tapping.
4.     Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
5.     Select Safe Mode with Networking’ and press Enter.
6.     You should see drivers loading, and then please wait.
7.     You should then be at the Welcome Screen.
8.     Logon to your computer using an account with Administrator privileges.

 Step 2:
If the issue does not persist in ‘Safe Mode with Networking’, then one of the third party services could be causing the issue.
Put the computer in a Clean Boot and check for the issue.
Below are the steps to put the computer in a Clean Boot State:
