Resetting the System
You may need to restart the system if the computer becomes inoperable or after
adding a new hardware or software.
Warm Boot (Software Reset)
If the system is locked up because of a software problem, you can reset or reboot the
system by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys simultaneously and select Users tab of
Windows Task Manager dialog box. Click Disconnect or Logoff, then, Yes.
Resetting may cause data loss. Use the resetting process only if the
normal Windows XP Shut Down does not work because of software
malfunction. Although resetting will not damage the system, you may lose
the data you are processing.
Power Switch
You can turn off the computer by pressing the power button if you encounter
hardware or software problems locking up the system. In this case, press the power
button for more than four seconds.
Reset Switch
If you cannot turn off the computer with the power button, you can use the reset
switch on the bottom of your computer. To reset the system, insert a narrow object
into the small hole to press the switch.
