Logoff screen and the wheel is spinning continuously and not moving further even after 17 hours

Hi
We have windows 2012 DC and Windows 7 clients in our network. From last 2 weeks some of the workstations randomly gets stuck in the logoff screen. I observed, even after 17hrs, these PCs are still in the logoff screen and the wheel is spinning continuously and not moving further.

I read some forums and it was saying if log off-screen is stuck .I can hold down the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
While holding them down, tap the ESC key once and this will bring the task manager. I can then select Applications tab and can end the job or can right-click on it and choose "Go to Process" to get a better idea of what's going on.

I tried this and nothing is happening. Is there a way to find why these PCs gets stuck in the logoff screen and why this is happening.

Any help would be really great. Thanks in advance

I have done a hard boot on the PC that is on the log off screen.
After the hard boot , it has logged me in successfully " 
Now  i clicked disable all - in MSCONFIG and restarted and it has restarted  and logged in as administrator.
Will i be able to find any evidence on the event viewer as why the PC is stuck on the logoff screen.

Sure , i will enable them in groups  and post you.
But this is happening randomly, some time with PC-1  and sometimes with PC-2  so on ..
Will it be a GPO causing this issue.
