How to shut down your computer

On the menu press turn off computer in the right hand bottom of the menu.
If your computer freezes press the reset button. If you do not have one hold your on/off in for 5 seconds and it will shut down.

Notes:

  • Turning the power off suddenly can cause the computer to have errors as it does not have time to put everything away before shut down.
  • Shutting down in the middle of a big process can also cause errors. For example if you are formatting your hard drive and you shut down when it is no finished, this will cause problems.
  • Pressing the on/off button in for 5 seconds does give the computer a chance to shut down, however I do not recommend it for everyday use.
