Resetting the Computer

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

If the system operation appears to hang, wait for a while. It is possible that the system is
processing data. Check the hard disk drive in-use indicator. If it blinks irregularly, the
program may be accessing data and preventing you from using the keyboard. If you are
sure the operation has stalled and the “restart” function of the operating system does not
work, reset the computer.

Reset the computer by any one of the following methods:

z

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del – to launch the “Task Manager” window and select “Shut Down”
or “Restart”.

z

If the above action does not work, turn off the system by pressing the Power Button
for 4 seconds. Wait for at least five seconds and turn on again.

z

If the above does not work, press the Power Button for 10 seconds. The system will
shut down and the Embedded Controller BIOS will be reset. Wait for at least five
seconds before turning it on again.

CAUTION:

Resetting will cause any unsaved data to be lost, but will not impact any of the saved data on
the hard drive. Only the Embedded Controller information will be reset. You are advised to
backup all data before resetting/rebooting your computer. Applications, patches, upgrades and
configurations may need to be reinstalled.
