rebooting
Cycling the power
Rebooting is restarting a computer or electronic device, shutting it down and starting it fresh.
The term extends to any restart or reset: The franchise is rebooting with a new cast.
Figuratively, rebooting can mean starting over personally: After the divorce, she spent a year rebooting her life.
