This short
article tells us why it is important to shut down your computer properly.
It is a very
bad idea to press the power button to shut down our computer because during normal
running pressing the
power button for a few seconds cuts power immediately to
the whole computer.
What effect
does this have?
A computer hard disk is rotating
thousands of times a minute. The little arm that reads and writes data to the
hard disk is moving backward and forward all the time. Each of these things can
cause hard disk data corruption.
I 2.it leads to the frozen up of your
computer
A couple of people have asked if
there is any alternative to pressing and holding the power button when a
computer is hanging and unresponsive.
doesn’t move across the screen despite you physically moving the mouse,
the computer doesn’t respond to Ctr l-Alt-Del,
you can probably safely assume
that something has gone badly wrong and the computer has frozen up.
In a healthy computer, these occasions should be few and far between. But
in this situation there is no alternative to pressing and holding the power
button to turn off the computer.
Restarting the computer may be
of a little help because you may be prompted to allow the check disk tool to
run. Let it run to check for, and try to repair, any issues that mind be found
on the hard disk as a result of the power off.
And if possible check for any error messages or helpful information in
the event viewer that would explain the freeze-up. Although finding something
useful in there could be rare.
I wrote this short article to
encourage you to take a few seconds to shut down windows properly, as it could
save your money in the long run for computer repairs.
