Try pressing the ON/OFF button and holding it down for at
least 4 seconds. It should turn the power off instead of
rebooting.
I believe this feature was adding to prevent the loss of
unsaved data if the ON/OFF button is unintentionally
pressed....which has happened to me on at least 1 or 2
occasions when I've done work at home and my 2 young
children come in to see daddy while he's working. It
taught me to save my work frequently.
Hope this helps
