My notebook stops responding or does not shut down.

It is best to shut down your notebook using the Shut Down command on the Windows Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed here, may result in loss of unsaved data.

Try restarting the notebook. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, click Shut Down, and then click Restart.

If you cannot restart as described in the preceding step, you can restart the notebook by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

If the previous step does not work, press and hold the power button for at least four seconds. This turns off the power.

If your notebook stops responding while playing a CD, stop the CD, and restart the notebook by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

Unplug the notebook from the AC adapter and remove the battery pack from your notebook.

Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete or turning off the notebook with the power switch may result in data loss in files that are currently open.
