Why can't I turn off my computer when it crashes? I have to use the power supply switch on the back.

Answer

Try holding the front power button for five or six seconds. Merely pressing the button will not turn the PC off, as this isn't a spring-loaded switch that has an On and Off. By holding the button for several seconds, the computer knows to shut the the power supply down.
