My computer locks up
❑ If you suspect one application is locking your system, you can try to stop it. To do this, press
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> simultaneously. If you have not changed the default settings, you will enter the
Task Manager. Select the application or process that is locking your system, and then click End Task.
❑ If the above method does not work or you do not know which application is locking your system, restart
the computer. On the Windows
®
taskbar, click the Start button, click Turn Off Computer, and then
select Turn Off.
❑ If the above method does not work, slide the power switch off and hold it for at least four seconds. This
turns off the power.

pressing <Alt>+<F4> and clicking Turn Off in the Turn off computer screen.
