Forced Shutdown
If your computer doesn’t respond, then try using the Task Manager. This utility
provides information about your system’s performance and displays details
about programs and processes running on your computer.
To do so, press the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously and select Start Task
Manager.
Click on the Applications tab, select the task that you want to end and click on
End Task.
Warning: If your computer still does not respond, press the
computer power button to turn your computer off. Keep this
button pressed until all of the LEDs turn off and wait for roughly
30 seconds before turning the computer on again.
Power Options
The power options of Windows can control your computer’s power state and allow you to save energy. Depending
on your needs, you can define the power scheme that suits you best. Three power saving modes are provided:
Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep.
Sleep
Sleep effectively ’pauses’ your computer, keeping all activity in memory, ready to start again. Rousing your computer from
Sleep takes just a few seconds. A small amount of power is still required to store the contents of the memory.
Hibernate
Hibernate stores all activity on your computer’s hard drive, and then powers down. No power is required, but your computer
must be powered on normally before you may continue working.
Hybrid Sleep
Hybrid sleep stores all activity on your computer’s hard drive, just like Hibernate; but also keeps a copy in memory, ready to
start in a few seconds. A small amount of power is still required to store the contents of the memory, but the copy on the disk
drive ensures that you work is safe, even in the event of a power failure. Hybrid Sleep may be disabled on certain computers.
