To '''shut down''' or '''power off''' a computer is to [[switch|remove power]] from a computer's main components in a controlled way. After a computer is shut down, main components such as [[Central processing unit|CPU]]s, [[Random-access memory|RAM]] modules and [[hard disk drive]]s are powered down, although some internal components, such as an internal clock, may retain power.
