My computer stops responding or does not shut down.

❑ If you cannot restart as described in the preceding step, you can restart the
computer by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys at the same time.
❑ If the previous step does not work, press and hold the power button for at
least four seconds. This turns off the power to the computer.
❑ If your computer stops responding while playing a CD or DVD, stop the
CD/DVD, and restart the computer by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys at
the same time.
❑ Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and remove the battery pack from
your computer.

1 Close all open applications.
2 Restart the computer by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys at the same
