You can try the windows button located on the keyboard or you could even press and hold the off button. If that does not work try unplugging it. I gurantee it will not break your pc.

Bring up the Task Manager and click Shutdown>Shutdown.
You can bring up the Task manager by right-clicking the taskbar on the bottom of the screen and choosing "Task manager"/
You can also do a CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to bring up the Task Manager and follow the above steps.
If this doesn't work, my last step is to briefly press the Power button on the computer. In more recent computers, this initiates a safe shutdown.
Your very last resort should be holding down the Power button for 5 seconds to shut everything off immediately. Not safe at all methinks.

Hold the tower power button down until the computer shuts off.
Wait about a minute before rebooting.

I recommend switching off the power supply from the wall. Sometimes the power button does not respond and you've wasted time there.
