What do I do when my computer crashes?
There are many reasons why a computer may just stop working or
"freeze". Most of the time there isn't much we can do about it; it is
a fact of life that computer programs have become so complex that occasionally
users will experience problems even when performing common tasks. When your
computer no longer responds to keyboard commands your best bet is to restart
the computer.
