Hi
This sounds like an ACPI problem which I have just had with a windows installation. If you run the live CD on the machine which will not shutdown does it shutdown OK?

Re: Shutdown, suspend and hibernate problems
Glad it looks as though you found the answer.
My initial reaction was based on trouble I had installing XP on a machine which had exactly the same problem after a fresh install. The only difference being that when I ran Mint from Live CD it would power down. Found that XP had installed the wrong HAL ( did not apply ACPI). Found this by watching the verbose install of Mint which was the only version of Linux that I had that set acpi to on and then powered down.
I can't see why your machines would after time exhibit this problem but that is computers.
