Hard Reset?! Help me out folks...

[lysolflow]

I have learned how to back up all of my files, and the hard reset has become my friend... anytime something bad comes up, just back everything up, and do a soft reset...

but is there a way to hard reset my computer? I have a dell, and i dont know where to go to find information about it...

i know this is a phone forum, but i'm jus asking can i perform a ppc function on a normal pc... and if anybody can point me in the direction that handles pc issues like this one handles ppc issues, please do...
