To properly turn off the personal computer, first exit the operating
system. In Windows, click Start > Shut Down.
In Windows operating systems, pressing the power button does not
turn off the power, but causes the personal computer to enter a
low-power state. This allows you to quickly power down, without
closing applications, and to quickly return to the same operational
state without any data loss.
To manually force the computer into an OFF state, press and hold the
power button for four seconds.
CAUTION: Manually forcing the computer off can cause loss of data.
