Sometimes, a gentle tap just isn't enough. You need to give your computer a good shake. Here's how:

  1. Press and hold the power button on your computer for about 5 seconds. Don't let go too early, or you'll just turn it off.
  2. After 5 seconds, release the power button. Your computer should start up again. If it doesn't, try again. It might just be having a lazy day.

When it comes back to life, it should be as good as new. But hey, what if it happens again? Let's prevent that, yeah?
