Set the Power button action to "Restart" .this option can be found in "power options" from control panel.. Restart is just a single button press away .. Default is shutdown.. In that case. press once to shutdown.. once it got shutdown, press again to start..

or else goto start and click restart.. ....

unplug power cable and plug back and press power button....

Hello imso,
My name is Krishna and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell. To restart a computer, click the "Start" button (in Windows XP) or "Windows" button (in Windows 7) on the lower left corner of your screen. In the window that pops up, select the small arrow on the bottom right corner. Click "Restart." Your computer will immediately close all open programs, shut down and restart.

If you are having difficulties shutting down applications and processes, you can force your Windows PC to restart. Go to the "Start" button and click "Run." Enter "shutdown -r -t 1 --f" and Windows will complete the shut down process and restart without waiting for programs to close.

Hope this helps.

Edit:

Hello imso,
Sorry about the confusion. If your restore partition is intact, you should be able to restore your computer's software back to factory settings without using any disks. You can follow the instructions from http://support.dell.com/support/topics/g...egacy=true

Let me know if you need more information.
