can't unfreeze my brand new laptop

rypeters5 · 06-13-2006, 11:22 PM

I just got my dell inspiron notebook 6400 and I booted up the media center, which doesn't require me to start the entire computer. When I pressed quit the computer went to the shutdown screen and froze. I don't know how to do a forced shutdown on the laptop, (I tried the traditional control, alt, delete). Can anyone help me?

Nevermind, I just figured out that by holding the power button it will force the shutdown. I'm an idiot. Disregard this post.

Hold the power button for a while (it varies) and it will turn off.
