A virus could explain that behavior. Perhaps you could get some AV software other than what is running on the box and do a scan.
Since safe mode seems to work I would probably start with backing up aduch data as possible in case that stops working too. Then I would try using msconfig to disable all but basic services - hopefully it will work - then gradually add back items until it breaks again. I have also seen drivers cause the noshutdown situation so look at any driver updates that were part of that package and try to rollback.
