Resetting the Computer

You may have to reset (reboot) your computer on some occasions when an error occurs and the program you are using hangs up.

If the system operation seems to hang up, first wait. It is possible that the system is processing data. Periodically check the hard disk drive in-use indicator, if it flashes irregularly, the program may be accessing data and preventing you from using the keyboard. If you are sure the operation has stopped and you cannot use the “restart” function of the operating system, reset the computer.

Reset the computer by any one of these method:

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del if you have an external keyboard connected.

If the above action does not work, turn off the system. Wait for at least five seconds and turn it on again.

CAUTION: Resetting will cause any unsaved data to be lost.
