Try this:

1. Make note of the current time.
2. Perform a shutdown and wait for it to complete. 
3. Make note of the time again.
4. Start the computer.
5. Take a look at the console and system logs, and make note of any
messages that have a time stamp between the two times you noted above.

The system log will usually give you an indication as to what is causing
startup and low-level issues, where the console log typically shows only
issues you experience after you are logged into your user account.

Feel free to post *relevant portions* (only entries that are time
stamped around the time of the occurrence) of the logs here if you need
help understanding them. We'll be glad to take a look and tell you what
we see.

To view logs on your computer, open /Applications/Utilities/Console.

NOTE: You cannot use the Console application to view the system log from
a non-administrative account. Instead, do this:

1. Quit Console.
2. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
3. In a terminal window, enter the command (replacing "admin" with the
short name of an administrator account): su admin
4. Supply the password to the admin account when prompted.
5. Enter the command: sudo open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app
6. Supply the password to the admin account when prompted.

If you enter these commands correctly, Console will open in
administrator mode, allowing you to view the system log.
