Restarting the computer 
Certain conditions require that you reset the system. For example, if: 
■ 
You change certain computer settings.  
■ 
An error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard 
commands. 
There are three ways to reset the computer system: 
1. 
Select Restart from the Turn Off Computer window in the start box. 
2. 
If the computer is already on, press Ctrl + Alt + Del. 
3. 
Press the power button to turn the computer off, then press it a 
second to time in order to restart. 
Only use step 3 if the operating system freezes or locks up due to a crash. 
Performing step 3 should only ever be a last resort as you will lose all 
unsaved data and could potentially damage critical files. 
Restoring the preinstalled software from the Product

reformatted and all data will be lost.
