How can I restart my computer normally?

Ok i have been having this problem for quite awhile. For soem reason my computer will not restart. The only way i can restart my computer is by holding down the power button on the tower, which of course turns the computer off. Now what i want to know is, what can i do to fix this problem and be able to restart my computer nomally?

Also not sure if you can answer but for some reason when im connected to the internet the window i am in will freeze for liek 10 min and then eventually work again. Again all my other programs will work during this time but i am unable to close, minimize or do anything to this window until after 10 minutes.

If you can answer one of these it would greatly appreciated.

Thank you
