What do I do if my computer stops responding?
Although unsaved files may be lost, it is best to turn off your computer by following these steps:
Click Start > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off.
Alternatively, you may follow one or more of these suggestions to turn off the computer:
■ Press the Ctrl+Alt-pDelete keys simultaneously. Select the Shut Down menu, and click Turn Off.
This option is particularly useful if your computer stops responding while you are playing a CD or DVD.
■ Press and hold the power button until the computer turns off.
■ Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery.
What do I do if my computer won’t start?
The power indicator on the computer is off when the computer is not securely attached to a source of power. Make sure the computer is plugged into the AC
adapter and the adapter is plugged into an outlet. If you are using battery power, make sure the battery is inserted properly and charged. You may check the
power source by disconnecting the AC adapter and removing the battery. Wait one minute before reattaching the AC adapter and reinserting the battery.
Additional suggestions include:
■ If the computer is plugged into a power strip or uninterruptible power supply (UPS), make sure the power strip or UPS is turned on
and working.
■ If your computer is connected to an external display, such as a multimedia monitor, make sure the display is plugged into a power source
and turned on. The brightness and contrast controls may need to be adjusted. See the guide that came with your display for more
details.
■ If the computer is starting from a floppy disk, eject the disk from the floppy disk drive (if applicable).
■ If you notice condensation on the computer, do not use the computer for at least one hour. Condensation may cause the
computer to malfunction.
