Emergency Shutdown
If an emergency condition occurs where the computer needs to be shut down immediately,
press and hold the Power button for more than five seconds. The computer will bypass the
normal Windows shutdown sequence and turn off.
This procedure should only be used in emergencies because improperly shutting down
Windows may result in the loss of data and possible corruption of the operating system.
