What to do when you PC locks up
The PCDoctor has put up a list of things to do and not do when your computer crashes or freezes. One that he mentions is a procedure most users might not think of but which I recommend
Restart, shutdown and restart
I find that I get the best possible boot up if, after a crash, I shut the system down, restart it and let if come back up all the way and then shut it down again before bringing it back up to work with.
He also mentions the Task Manager, which I have found to be really useful on several occasions. Of course, if you have a real crash, you won’t be able to bring Task Manger up but more than once I have been staring at a blank screen wondering what was going on and then found out by trying the keyboard combination CTRL+ALT+DEL. I have written more on the Taskmanager at this page.
