Why doesn’t my computer respond or turn off?
It is best to turn off your computer using the Turn Off Computer command on the
Windows Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed below, may
result in loss of unsaved data.
❑
Click Start on the Windows® taskbar, select Turn Off Computer, and then
click Turn Off.
❑
If your computer does not turn off, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously.
The Windows Task Manager dialog box appears, and you can turn off the
computer from the Shut Down menu.
❑
If your computer still does not turn off, press and hold the power button to
turn off the computer.
❑
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter, and remove the battery from
your computer.
❑
If your computer stops responding while playing a CD or DVD, press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously. The Windows Task Manager dialog box
appears, and you can turn off the computer from the Shut Down menu.
Why won’t the power management respond?
Your computer’s operating system may become unstable if a lower power state,
such as Hibernate, is initiated and changed before the computer completely
enters the lower power state.
The System Recovery CD restores your computer to its original state, so
user data and programs will be lost.
✍
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously or turning off the computer with the
power button may result in data loss in files that are currently open.
