Ctrl, Alt, Del

My windows is XP and I have a fairly new PC. However, when necessary I have to turn my machine off completely from the plugs. Ctrl, Alt, Del does not work. Is this something to do with XP or a fault on my machine?

Most computers will shut down if you press and hold the power button. Still not recommended, but it's probably safer than turning it off at the wall.
Does CTRL+ALT+DEL not work altogether, or does it just not restart if you do it twice? Actually checking on a copy of XP Pro at the moment CTRL+ALT+DEL brings up a box with options for Task Manager, Shutdown, Log Off, Lock Computer and something else I can't remember right now. But pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL again does nothing. If I remember correctly from my home computer, XP Home doesn't do this, but I don't think it's supposed to restart if you press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice.0
