Answer 5

OMG wow what are you trying to ask how can you even turn your computer of without a power button i cant !

Answer 6

Rule number 1: Check for viruses.

Do you 'clean' your computer?, as in, run a scan such as window washer every day?. As you surf the net your PC will pick up cookies etc from sites that you visit,giving your computer lottts more to sift through every time it tries to shut down.

May also need to be defragmented.
