Press the power button and hold it down for five seconds. Once the
computer has turned itself off, wait 10–15 seconds before turning on
the power again by pressing the power button.

Click the Applications tab. If a program has stopped responding, the
words "not responding" appear beside its name in the list.
Select the program you want to close, then click End Task. Closing
the failed program should allow you to continue working. If it does not,
continue with the next step.
Close the remaining programs one by one by selecting the program

restart it.
If you cannot find a software problem, you should
then check the setup and configuration of your
hardware. First run through the items in the
preliminary checklist as described previously

identify the source. The next section provides
checklists for individual components and
peripherals.
