Windows 2000 shutting down into DOS

In the past few weeks whenever I shut down my computer, it would shut down as
normal but, then it appears as if it went into DOS, and then shut down. Now
it goes strat into DOS it seems or a simliar program. It shuts down as normal
but, then it goes to a blank screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left
hand corner. It doesn't respond to button presses or anything else. It will
not shut down completely. Anyone have any ideas what has cause this, and if
their is a solution other than reformatting and starting over from scratch?
