Can you post the contents of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I'm interested in the section that looks like this:
Code:

We are looking for the radeon module being loaded. Do you see it? If not what module is it loading? Oh, and what kernel are you using?

You could look that up as easily as I could. Try to learn to find things on your own. I googled linux removing modules and found this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/add-rem...ernel-modules/
If you don't like that one you can find many more on your own.

1. Have you tried the Linux Mint Live CD?
2. If yes, then do you have the same problem shutting down?
3. If no, then you should try it and report the results.
4. If Linux Mint worked perfectly, then why did you install the fglrx driver? This is a non-free driver available from here. You have to download this driver; it does not come with the kernel. Why did you download this driver? This makes no sense.
5. The only data you gave about this problem mentions the fglrx driver.
Please give a clear explanation of what your problem is.
