The start-up of a computer from a powered-down, or off, state.
Also called a hard boot.
This is contrast to a warm boot which refers to restarting a computer that is already turned on via the operating system. Restarting it returns the computer to its initial state. A warm boot is sometimes necessary when a program encounters an error from which it cannot recover. On PCs, you can perform a warm boot by pressing the Control, Alt, and Delete keys simultaneously. On Macs, you can perform a warm boot by pressing the Restart button.
Also called a soft boot.

Cold boot refers to powering up from an off state. A warm boot occurs when you reboot the computer.
