The expression "Computer is frozen" is very popular among users. It means that some problems have occurred in the operating system caused by such phenomena as overflow of internal memory of hard or local disks, incorrect sequence of specified commands, entering the wrong key combination, infection of program files with a dangerous virus. In such a situation, you will need to follow a few simple steps on how to restart your PC.
Necessary
Restart button. Keys "Ctrl", "Alt" and "Delete"
Instructions
Step 1
To restart your computer from the desktop, go to the Start menu. It is located at the bottom left of the screen. Next, a service list of commands will appear, where you should press the "Shutdown" button. After that, a new small window will open in which there are three buttons - "Standby", "Shutdown" and "Restart". Click the last right "Restart" button. It is framed in bright green with a symbol inside, reminiscent of the scale of a round mechanical watch. After clicking on the button, the computer will restart. It will take less than one minute.
Step 2
There is another way to restart your PC. The "Restart" button is located on the front panel of the computer system unit, next to the "Power" button. Most often, the reset button is located directly below the "Power" button and is half the size, as well as an equilateral triangle emblem. Click this button to restart the operating system. In about one minute, your computer will boot up again and the desktop will appear. Errors and glitches will most often be fixed. After that, you can continue to work further.
Step 3
The third method to restart your computer, but not the last, is to restart using the keyboard. Press the following key combination at the same time - "Ctrl + Alt + Delete". Then click the Alt button again and release it. Further, using the arrow keys, navigate the headings of the commands "File", "Options", "View", "Windows" to the item "Shutdown". Then, in the same way as in the first options, restart your computer. In some cases, you should restart the computer using the command line. This method works best for literate programmers, not amateur users.
