First off, your thread says your product is an HP printer -- but your text talks about problems  with a PC.  So, what really is the component that is giving you problems.

 

Second, pulling the plug does NOT reset a PC,; instead, it caused it to crash -- and nearly always, corrupts something in the process.

 

Third, please describe the problem you were have starting the PC, that will give us some ideas about what might be wrong with it.
