Why does my computer stop responding? Why can’t I turn off my computer?

simultaneously. When the Windows Task Manager dialog box appears,

❑
If your computer still does not turn off, press and hold the power button or
slide and hold the power switch until the computer turns off.
❑
If your computer stops responding while playing a CD or DVD, press the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys simultaneously. You can turn off the computer from
the Windows Task Manager.

Why won’t my computer enter Standby or Hibernate mode?
Your computer’s operating system may become unstable if the operating mode is
changed before the computer completely enters Standby or Hibernate mode.
To restore the computer to normal operating stability:
The System Recovery CD restores your computer to its original state, so
user data and applications will be lost.
✍
Pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys simultaneously or turning off the computer with
the power button or switch may cause loss of data.
