Digital Dashboard. You can also shut down your computer by completing the
following steps:

In Case of
System Lockup In the event of a system lockup, pressing the Start/Reset button for 4 seconds will
shut down your computer without shutting down Windows.

system lockup since it will cause Windows to run ScanDisk and you will lose any unsaved
data.
