My computer locks up

If you suspect one application is locking your system, you can try to stop it. To do this, press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> simultaneously. If you have not changed the default settings, you will enter the Task Manager. Select the application or process that is locking your system, and then click End Task.

If the above method does not work or you do not know which application is locking your system, restart the computer. On the Windows® taskbar, click the Start button, click Turn Off Computer, and then select Turn Off.

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

If your computer locks up while playing a CD-ROM, stop the CD-ROM, and shut down the computer by pressing <Alt>+<F4> and clicking Turn Off in the Turn off computer screen.
