Resetting the Computer

Occasionally, Windows or the computer may stop responding, so that you cannot turn the computer
off. If this happens, try the following in the order listed:
1. If possible, shut down Windows: press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click Shut Down. Press the blue
sleep button to restart.
2. Slide and hold the power button for 4 seconds, until the display shuts down, then press the blue
sleep button to restart.
–or, if this fails–
Insert a straightened paper clip into the system-off switch on the right side of the computer, then
press the blue sleep button to restart.
Note
To boot from a floppy, CD-ROM, or DVD drive in the module bay, insert a bootable CD (such as
the Recovery CD ) into the drive, then reboot. Press ESC during reboot when the HP logo and
prompt appear, then select the CD-ROM/DVD drive as the temporary boot device.
