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.
