My computer does not shut down

Restart the computer by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete and by choosing Shut Down in the Task Manager.

If this does not work, slide the power switch forward and hold it for at least four seconds, this turns off the power.

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

My computer “locks up”

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

If you cannot restart as described in the preceding step, you can restart the computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete once and then clicking Shut Down in the Windows Task manager.

If the previous step does not work, slide the power switch toward the front and hold it for at least four seconds. This turns off the power.
