Restarting (rebooting) your notebook

If your notebook does not respond to keyboard or touchpad input, you may have to close programs that are not responding. If closing unresponsive programs does not restore your notebook to normal operation, you may have to restart (reboot) your notebook.

To close unresponsive programs and restart your notebook:

1 Press CTRL+ALT+DEL. A window opens that lets you close a program that is not responding.

3 Close the program by clicking End Task.

4 If your notebook does not respond, turn it off, wait ten seconds and turn it on again.

Important

If your notebook does not turn off immediately, complete the following steps until your notebook turns off:

1Press and hold the power button for about five seconds, then release it.

2Remove AC power and the battery for more than 10 seconds.

As a part of the regular startup process, a program to check the disk status runs automatically. When the checks are finished, Windows starts.
