You are saying that you can't shutdown right? Does this mean that you can't boot the machine as well? If you can boot the machine then try to see if you recieve any error messages while booting. Try to view the errpt report. IMHO I'm not sure why you have a green blinking light but usually an amber light indicates a hardware error!

To view the boot log:
