What is Reboot?

A reboot is a process to restart a computer and reload the operating system. Rebooting practice is basically performed to recover a system from error, or to re-initialize the drivers or hardware. On the computers having Windows operating system, you can usually done rebooting by selecting “turn off computer” from the Start menu button and then clicking “restart” button. Another way to done rebooting is through pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL keystroke combination. A reboot may also be classified as cold or hard reboot (power was physically shut off then back on) and warm or soft reboot (system restarted without loss of power). Make sure that, a hard reboot is only performed when the computer is completely frozen because it may damage the hardware components in the computer system.
