The process of restarting a computer is known as ________

The process of restarting a computer is known as "Warm booting". Warm booting means restarting a computer while it is already turned on, without turning off the power. During a warm boot, the system goes through a process called "reset" which shuts down and restarts the operating system and all the software programs that are running. This is usually done when the computer is not responding properly, or when a software installation requires a restart. It is called "warm" because the computer components are not completely powered off and the system does not have to perform a complete power-on self-test (POST) as in a cold boot.
