Go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor

This program is like pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE for PCs, it will give you a list of whats running on your macbook, and where your resources are being used up, etc. . .Sort by %CPU and you can see what programs are dominating your memory, and preventing your system from shutting down.

you can also go to disk utility and run permissions tests and stuff. i would try that too
