THE PROCESS OF SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM 

Before you shut down the computer, you must close all opened windows application packages to ensure you do not lose any data or configuration. stem

To shut down the computer take the following steps:

1. click on START button
2. navigate to shut down Computer options and click. The following shut down options are displayed:

- shut down: the shut down Computer completely option enables you to power down the system, when you do not want to use it again. The shut down Ms-Dos mode enables you to work with the system via the system prompt using the operating system called Microsoft Disk operating system.

-restart: the restart computer option enables you to reboot the system called warm booting especially when the system do not work the normal way.

-sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player: The computer immediately stops what its doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working. Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power.

- hibernation : this puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use hibernation when you know that you won’t use your laptop for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.

-log off: all of the programs you were using are closed, but the computer is not turned off.

3. select the option you want and wait for the system to respond.
