Symptom
System works improperly
or stops.
Possible solution
Your HP Firebird uses the operating system and installed software
programs during normal operation. If your system works improperly
or stops, you may be able to repair it using one of the two methods
below:
Restart your HP Firebird
Restarting is the simplest method of repair for your system. When
you restart, the computer reloads the operating system and software
into its memory.
To restart your HP Firebird:
1 Close all open programs and windows.
2 Click the Windows Vista start
button, click the Arrow button next to
the Lock button, and then click Restart.
Turn off your HP Firebird
When you turn off your HP Firebird and then turn it on again, you
force the system to reload the operating system into its memory,
which clears some tracking information. This may eliminate some
problems that can remain after you perform a restart.
To turn off your HP Firebird:
1 Close all open programs and windows.
2 Click the Windows Vista start
button, click the Arrow button next to
the Lock button, and then click
Shut Down.
3 Restart your system by pressing the Power button on the left
side of the badge on the front of the HP Firebird.
