  • WOW! I DIDN'T NOW THIS! YOU NEED THE COLLEGE TO NOW THIS!

  • lame!!

    

  • press the off button hold for 2 secs its off. easy

  • fastes way to turn off ur pc... throw it out the window..

  • You turn off the switch on your power supply.

  • go to desktop -> alt+f4

    DONE

  • Don't hold the power button it will force shut down your pc instead press the power button once.

  • The fastest shutdown: don't turn on your pc.

  • note: Do not unplug your power cord from the PSU while its still on, since you can fuck up your mother board and the PSU itself.

  • @AbeWWII

    Thanks i shall stop doing that now!

  • no i like pointing and clicking XD

  • This is more like how to fuck up your pc

  • WHAT ABOUT WINDOWS7

  • go right-click, new, shortcut. type in in the shortcut box: shutdown.exe -t 30 -c "Windows is shutting down. Remember to save your work" this should shutdown and give you time to save work

  • sombody can help me?

    I turned off the PC from the button and now it always go in standby single :)

  • only for vista users: Press on the windows button and right arrow 3 times then space as fast u can then look whats happends :D

  • @iStaunchYou LOL!!!

  • just turn of the switch

  • Press the power button once, but do not hold it. Just one fast click.

    Damn people are dumb

  • When your computer has froze and is just dead.. you have to hold down the power button ,youve got no option it isnt like you can go into start because its froze!

  • EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS SHIT!

  • Or you could unplug it.

  • just remove the power cord or remove the battery.

  • press power button?

  • dumbass method to easy and who wants to know som many goddang keys when you can just use your mice!

  • or, you could just leave it on, I mean... why not? Unless you can afford your powerbills. In which case focus on getting a better job and maybe using a computer that doesn't use all of it's 2k watt power supply.

  • unplug it, the fastst and easyiest way to shut it down.^^

  • hold down power button :O

  • @iStaunchYou lols Im to smart for that :P nice try tho

  • vista! shutdowning vista is useless just unplug it

  • unplugging...

  • bullshit tutorial go and teach ur childrens u homo

  • switch the 1 button to 0 too easy on the back

  • Who's too lazy to click the mouse 2 times to shut down?

  • HOLDING the power button in order to shut down causes great damage to your hard disk. Also other parts of your computer might stop functioning because when you hold the power button power gets cut off, but your parts aren't ''allerted'' by your memory yet.

  • @AbeWWII It's so true. I broke my Hard Drive accidentaly by shutting it down the wrong way. :'(

  • @AbeWWII shit i used to do that ALLOT on my old pc before i knew it made allot of damage... and i thought my cpu was broken because everything went so slow...

  • @maximilli111 if your CPU would actually be broken, your computer wouldn't function at all(at least not the way you would intend anyways).

  • @AbeWWII WOW, did you know modern harddrive heads are mechanically designed to snap back into place during power loss? There is no damage.

  • @AbeWWII It can't damage your hard disk moron... You think HDD manufactures never thought of it?

    I do this constantly & nothing bad ever happens...

  • @madjimms Yes it does. ''hardware manufacturers'' aren't able to prevent it from happening and aren't able to do anything against it by changing their design.

    When you turn off your PC like this you can in fact damage ALL of your components. They aren't prepared to shut down and all of the sudden lose voltage. The worst that could happen is a part actually ''exploding'' but that barely happens. overall it just slows down your HDD because unprepared shutdowns cause the data to ''get stuck''.

  • @AbeWWII

    You probably can but you probably have a very low risk, I have been doing that for years and all of my computers still work.

  • @madjimms

    Yeah me too, Ive been shutting down computers this way for YEARS. My dad has done it since the 90s and his PC that he built in the 90s still works today. as you said I am pretty sure they designed Hard drives not to crash like that.

  • Hammer... The end

  • in addition, you also can add -f

    it enables you to forcely close all the currently running applications without asking any permission, but i doubt this will too harsh lol

  • open your notepad > type: shutdown -s -t 60 -c "This computer will explode in one minute, run for your life!"

    after that, go to file > save as > change the file name into "surprise button.cmd", then you give this to your friends, tell them to open it *giggle*

  • Video above is stupid! I've got another language on my computer installed so the short keys don't work. GOSH ! People, THINK !

  • Video above is stupid! I've got another language on my computer installed so the short keys don't work. GOSH ! People, THINK !

  • i always use the power button, I don't really have too much respect for this old piece of shit

  • How to instantly shut down your PC: Press the button. :P

  • alt+f4 enter

  • or pull the plug or take out the battery in case of laptops

  • This doesn't tell crap for Windows 7 Ultimate

  • @dalynthesk8r This video was uploaded 1 and a half years earlier than Windows 7 was released, but just use the Vista Instructions.

  • Or press the power button a single time, instead of holding it down. That way its shutting down the normal way, just with one click.

  • lolol the pc didn't shut down in the vid

    fail.

  • He was illiustrating that it doesn't just shutdown if you have stuff to save.

  • my computer takes about two to three minutes to shutdown, is this a problem or is it normal?

  • try to not use the reset button or shutting down by the power button too much. it can damage hardware if u use it too much.

  • i knew this when i was 6

  • lol

  • or you can unplug the fucker

  • Or, just push the taskbar, ALT and F4, and enter.

  • just fucking press the sleep button you twat!

  • You actually want to know the quickest way to shut down... GET A MAC!!!

  • i don't need a mac.

  • @crazydude679

    Haha a mac? Why? What makes their shut down times more efficient?

  • mac shuts download way faster

  • I alwys do

    Win, Up Arrow, Enter, (Letter), Enter

    Where Letter is _S_hutdown, _R_estart, _S_tandby

    or simply a batch file with

    shutdown -f

  • the shit way just keep pressing alt n f4

    the goood way just press the power button

  • if tekhelper's a homophobe, that's sad.

  • his techiniques 'DUH!'

  • Easiest way: If u have a multimedia keyboard(w/ lotsa keys on the back of the F1, F2,... keys), just press the shutdown button. Only one key.

  • wow! great solution, dumbshit monkey motherfucker! you do exactly the same crap as clicking with mouse or pointing with keyboard! unless you are those guys who have difficulties operating a fucking pointing hardware, this thing is incredibly dumb and you should not waste your time watching this.

  • Apparently clicking 3 things is slower than typing 5 things.

  • uh... i knew these already and i'm 11??

    lolz

  • uh... why don't you shut the fuck up, little kid?

    lolz

  • hmm... why would i do that??

    bitch

  • because..your immature fag-of-a-parents are letting a little dick worthless kid on the internet.

  • And that you have serious anger management issues. ''Bitch''.

  • yes i do, so fucking what, go burn in hell cunt

  • How? i hate your parents: Check. Since your parents are in hell, and burning, i don't want to be in hell. See, if your parents where NOT in hell, i would have been burning down there, but i'm not because your parents are in hell.

  • fuck off my mothers with me, not looking at my laptop though *thank god* my nan's over her house, she phoned me a few muinets ago, and my grampy is over malta, my dad... i don't even know him!!

    so fuck off

  • your mother is at her house. you are in a dark alley, you stole a computer and *thank god* got internet. your nan is in hospital because she has AIDS. your ''grampy'' is having an affair with a 13 year old. your dad... he's a fag!!

  • 1. i do not steal

    2. my nan is in perfect condition

    3.i am with my mum

    4. my grampy called my nan and he is in perfect condition

    5. i got no idea if my dad is a fag or not and i don't realy care

    6. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW ALL THIS??

    NONE OF IT IS TRUE AND YOU'RE JUST A BITCH WHO FUCKED HIS / HER PERANTS

  • So. Your homosexual? I see.

  • if he would really be a kid, you couldn't say like that! worthless!! maybe he will become a president in the future -.-

  • hmmmm... these are useful but they still down shut down my PC as fast as my sledge hammer

  • hey guys how do i shut down my co-

  • apparently there's a different meaning to instant "over there"

  • you do not press the button hand hold, just press once to shut down

  • how to turn off a computer:

    buy all the oil on the earth so theres a power crysis and the lights go off

  • That's fucking stupid, I thought it was going to make the shutdown process faster. How is hitting windows, right, right, right, u, faster than clicking 3 times? I realize you might save 2 seconds, but do you really need that time?

  • holdin down the power button and waitin for the system to shut donw instantly is a bad idea cos windows will think that something is wrong & on occasions will come up with chkdsk. it happened to me cos i kept doing it cos my laptop kept freezing up!! do it @ ur own risk. pressing toe power button quickly without holdin it in will make windows shut down successfully

  • Buy a Mac. They are better in every way, hands down! : )

  • Download linux

    better and cheaper than mac

  • @94SuPraGuY Except the price!

  • disconnect power supply from the motherboard. make sure are not grounded. instant shutdown.

  • yeah thanks alot for telling so many diferent ways on how to shut of my pc thanks

    jk

    ur vid suks just press the damn buttom then walk away

  • lol for instant shutdown in laptop take battery out...

  • No need for all this. Just press shut down, close the monitor and leave. There is no point in babysitting your pc until it shuts down!

  • what if you are restarting..???

  • I mean press "shut down", and not the button that is used to start the pc.

  • I just press shut down then walk away i dont watch it shut down theres no point

  • yea. sometimes I press the power button to shut down the pc, but sometimes if your computer hang or some programs fail to respond, you end up come home after a day and see your windows is waiting for your action to either End the task or Cancel, which is stupid. i do use the power button to shut down, but i still watch it until it does.

  • Its already known and i forgot that. Thanks for it.

  • or hold down the power button ;) or pull the cord out.......

    dont do that

  • good i leartnt alot from this

  • quite uselful :)

  • run cmd

    Shutdown -s -t 00

    dead..

  • @Xomazai why not [WINDOWS]+[R] shutdown -s [OK] ?

  • @Xomazai Wrong... shutdown -s -f -t 00 then it's dead, the f will close any program in its way just like that.

  • @John13501

    Already know about this nowdays, 1 year old comments ftw :D

  • Make a shortcut to shutdown and save on desktop

    Right click on it, select properties, then shortcut. Go to shortcut key and assign Ctrl + Alt + S to it (or whatever you want)

    click OK and test :D

    There you have the quickest method in the book.

  • Alt+F4 then only click shutdown. Done.

  • Alt + F4 + Enter

  • @sonicrushfan1 alt+f4 enter

  • @sonicrushfan1 haha funny good thing ik about computers but it does work ^.^

  • @sonicrushfan1 I did it :D

  • try this one...

    goto CMD (command Promt)

    type

    shutdown -s

    (warning) u have less than a minute to stop the shutdown.

    its like a bomb u dont have much time before it goes off

    If you computer geeks no this dont tell anybody how to stop it

    Whoever finds out how to stop it in less than a minute then ur good..

  • open run and type in shutdown.exe -a to stop it. you dont have to be a geek to know that.

  • shutdown -a

  • try this:

    open notepad and type:

    @echo off

    shutdown -s -t 00 -c

    save is as name.bat

    replace "name" with any name you wish

    just run that script, and you're done.

  • turning off your computer by the power button not a good idea

  • if you do that the next time you boot up DESK CHECK will start up and take a hellllllllllllllllllllllllllll­la lota time to check stuff

    its so annoying!

  • Depends on if you hold the button in or just press it once and release. If you press it once, release, and have the power options set how the video shows, then the computer goes through the same shutdown mode as pressing the windows icon and then shut down.

  • how about alt+f4 and select comand

  • hey this did not work, some program would pop up for the shut down process,help please

  • It is not guaranteed to shut down all the time. Programs will still pop up and ask you if you want to save; however if you save and close any open programs and then press the power button, then the computer will shut down. (Unless, for example, anti-virus, firewall, chat, or other tray programs are being stubborn, then you will have to wait at least three or four minutes.)

  • LOL... suggesting a power cycle ( unplugging the back cable / holding the power button for three seconds )... great idea.

    ...Hope you dont want to keep your hard drive for more than 6 months...

  • Wow! It's not that much work to click 2 to 3 times. You may save an extra... 1 second by doing this, but waste like 1 minute setting it up!

  • I have one ideia... the best idea....

    Just unplug the cable force =D

  • this did not work! it just poped up the "ease of access" program. please help me.

  • To REALLY quit windows quickly, yank the plug. Don't worry about the OS getting corrupted, it will no matter how careful you are: it's Windows! And by pulling the plug you save power!

  • wtf is this shit... is this supposed to help people? if people can't find this out by themselves, they don't deserve to know it, fucking noobs.

  • but what if your doing the letters uu beside each other or the ur or ll .hahahahahahah

  • WtF?

    This vid is for RETARDS (!!!!!!!!)

    For Compelete dumbies or PC- newbies, lol

    Look people- if u want ur pc down asap then....... Just pull the freaking plug- or smack the internal processo........ Eeeeer, i mean, the big- white-box thingie with a hammer- tadah! Pc is down faster then u expected.

  • omfg i had the same monitor and keyboard=))

  • is use windows u u

  • To logoff a computer quickly, press Windows key and press L key twice.

  • that's what i did with mine

  • woot! The guy at the end looked like he had to catch a plane. I've been doing this for while now. You can also set this up in the BIOS. So, if you press the power button for 3 secs or longer your pc shuts off.

  • Just hold the power button and boom it's off ;)

  • holding the button has a chance of messing up ur harddrive

  • yeah vista sucks

  • vista stinks. i am so glad i came back to XP.

  • me to

  • me three

  • me 4

  • fuck you

  • fuck you

  • Get Linux :)

  • WOO! UBUNTU UBUNTU UBUNTU UBUNTU UBUNTU UBUNTU lol

  • I wanted vista. I endend up chucking my laptop in the bin because it would not do a thing. I mean, it would not even try to reinstall xp. My laptop has 3.5gigs ram, a huge hard drive etc and more than passed vistas standards. But vista is the biggest load of crap!

  • its because you upgraded, and upgrade vista is crappy

  • i agree vista suck fucking microshot is so cheap they fuck up 360 and coputers they hava all that moneya and cant get to make them better ?

  • it does speed it up a bit, but still, theres never gonna be a quick way to shut down vista to be honest, its still always going to be very slow, i have it on my laptop and it takes for ages.....=S

  • omg u fuck lol i was watching it while doing the step and my com shut down lol .

    i had to admit it was pretty fast 0.0

  • i know a way too! press the ''Power'' button on ur computer case

  • ok i was reading comments (lol) and some how i got the worlds gonna end thingy where did that come from?

  • vids for retards...or maybe im just a geek lol jk.

  • i dont understand nothing but i like it! nice video!
