What should you do if the only way you can turn off your computer is by holding the power button until it shuts off?

Answer

Before you do that, press: ctrl+alt+delete (at once) and close the "process" that is, "not responding". Then, determine what processes perhaps are conflicting, i.e. the one that wasn't responding may have been a Winamp and you were running Mediaplayer. Hope this helps.
