11.14 Why does my PC always tell me it was not shut off properly?

Q:

WELL GUYS I HAVE LEARNED A LESSON.. AS WE ALL DO AT SOME POINT... IF YOU REMEMBER I WAS HAVING A RE-BOOT OUT OF NO WHERE PROBLEM AND THE MACHINE TOLD ME THAT I HAD NOT PROPERLY SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN.

A:

The complaints that I had about Gateway was ..I think my not reading the manual. (What read a manual).. Well turns out that in addition to a screen saver this sucker has a sleep mode that not only puts the monitor to sleep but the computer also. I saw this button on the keyboard that said SLEEP MODE but I thought that was something to add later.. Also to turn the computer OFF you must HOLD the off button for 5 seconds. The point I am making is that I have used this new P300 for the last couple of weeks I would not buy any other. It has performed without ANY problems.
