Laptop Vista crashed, no restart possible?!

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by William Watterson, Oct 23, 2009.

  1. Hi there,
    I have a Sony laptop with Windows Vista as operating system.
    The system crashed. So I initialised a new start via CTRL,
    ALT and DEL. Unfortunately, the shut down process got stuck
    and the screen just displays "shut down" without doing anything.
    It remained like this for a couple of minutes when I hold the
    turn-on/off button pressed. I was expecting to force my laptop
    to restart again (which is the usual case on a Windows XP machine).
    However, my laptop just went to the stand-by modus. Pressing
    the turn-on/off gave back the frozen display of "shut down".

    Could anyone please advise on how to force my laptop with Vista
    to restart again?

    Thanks a lot!!!

    Unplug it. Wait a couple minutes, plug in, then turn it on. You'll
    probably get a screen that asks what to do. Click on "start windows
    normally".

    battery.

    Thanks! I was thinking of taking out the battery
    (after unplugging the laptop from the socket).
    However, would it damage the laptop if I take out
    the battery while the laptop is still in stand-by
    modus?
