Subject: [PCBUILD] Won't shut off


> What does it mean (besides demon possession) when a Gateway won't shut
off?
> Shut down a Gateway Pentium computer when it just hung up at the "Shutting
> Down" screen and that was it.  Pressing the on/off button does nothing
> (stays on), "three-finger salute" (control-alt-delete) button does
nothing.
> Is it just a bad start button or what?
