How To Reboot PC Computers Now

Does your computer need rebooting? The science of PC computer rebooting is not easy – you don’t just shut down your laptop or press the power button to turn off your desktop.

To do computer rebooting the smart way – and to avoid serious operating system foulups and registry fuck-ups that could cause serious problems, read this article. I’ll provide 5 easy steps to properly reboot computers – any PC or Mac computer without damages to software.

Sometimes even a computer running slowly needs a good reboot to speed it up!

Step 1. Shut down and save programs

If your computer isn’t completely frozen, make sure to close and save all programs and data. When computers reboot, they automatically dump and delete short-term memory. This means that any Adobe Photoshop file that you were working on will be erased unless you manually SAVE IT.

Step 2. Make sure there are no running processes

If there are running processes like a hard drive defragment or iTunes is burning a CD for you in the CD drive, these scripts could be ended and cause serious damage to both the software program itself as well as any files associated with them.

Step 3. Do a “soft PC reboot” through the Start Menu

I’m talking only to Windows OS users now, but the same general logic applies to Apple Macbook users too. Find the Shutdown options, and click “Restart”.

Step 4. If that doesn’t fix it, do a hard PC computer reboot

This is when all else fails and your PC laptop freezes or a soft reboot “Restart” isn’t working. Find your power button, and hold it down. Don’t let go! That’s key – hold it down until your monitor shuts down (usually in 5-10 seconds).

Your PC computer has been made to power down – what’s known as a hard reboot. This can cause major data loss and in the wrong circumstances, corrupt applications and operating system files.

Step 5. Once your PC laptop computer has rebooted

Do a check of key software that load at start. These will be the first to get fucked up during rebooting steps. Remember, proper rebooting eliminates the requirement to purchase expensive computer repair parts!
