Perform a hard power off. One can try holding down the power button down for 5 seconds or more. Should there be one, one can also flip a power switch typically behind a computer. The power cord can also be removed, or surge protector turned off.

∙ 15y agoIf all else fails, turn off the power supply!
To restart, just turn on the power supply again and follow normal procedures. Computers don't like having their power supplies arbitrarily turned off because they have no chance to close down running programs. However, they have systems that can usually recover the situation once the power is restored.
Sometimes there can be a serious fault with the computer (e.g. virus, component failure etc), and the only remedy to is to get the assistance of a computer engineer.
However, in many cases, just turning off and 're-booting' resolves minor glitches.

If you don't have a reset button on your PC case, simply hold down the power button for a few seconds until it turns off the power. Once it's turned off, then press the power button again to restart your PC.
The occasional blue screen is usually nothing to worry about. The regular appearance of a blue screen needs investigating further.
These error screens happen most often if you install new hardware or software with which there is a problem, so if you get a blue screen crash after installing anything new then it could indicate there is a problem with that software/hardware. If you have nothing new installed, it can be an early warning sign of failing hardware inside your PC, or even just a sign that your PC might need wiping and it's software reinstalling, which is something that PCs can require every few years to restore them to their former speed when/if they slow down with years of use.
Blue screens all have their own error or stop codes that look something like this:
See the related link to look up the error codes and see what they mean.
These codes are best understood by qualified people/geeks who use them to diagnose and repair your PC.
