Shutdown means shutdown. When you choose shutdown from the Start Menu your computer is doing what it's designed to do. Because it is a new machine I assume it has a fast CPU, so it's shutting down quicker than those screens can activate. That's normal.

I have a pokey old PIII-333, and while I still see the wait screen briefly I haven't seen the shutdown screen since I upgraded from AT to ATX.

I'd guess this is your first ATX machine, and I'm curious as to why you feel you need to see those screens.
