Computer turns on and works fine once turned off the orange button comes one - then if I cntrl alt delete the system boots? what gives?

If you just hit the button, it's probably set to suspend. You should be using the shutdown procedure, or alt-F4.

My computer says disk read error press cntrl alt then nada

In most cases, all recent versions of Windows use Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the Tasm Manager. You can't usually use that key combo to restart your PC.
When you did that, was any application highlighted as 'not responding?' If so, that is where you should start looking for problems.
Otherwise, try to post additional information for us here.
