Dear All, When the systems freezes, is it safe to hold down the power button to power off the machine? If not, what alternatives do you suggest?
My laptop doesn't do that. My desktop does, and most of the time I have to use the reset button, but if that doesn't work, there's nothing left except the power button and if so, there's not really much else I can do. You might try activating the Magic SysRq key (http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/sysrq.htm) and seeing if that works, but for me, it only works when it's not frozen.
