Ah. The worst situation possible. It doesn't happen as much on Mac's. Try those. But if you wanna stick to Windows here is the only sensible thing to do:

Manually Power it off by holding the Power Button.

If that doesn't work then you got a serious issue. Your files probably won't be saved but you can go to the back of your computer and disconnect the power cable.

The other sensible but painful thing to do is wait. Your computer is smarter that any human will be. Then again it has no will of it's own that's why we dominate. But it is still hard at work. Just try waiting. I'm not sure how long since computers vary on memory and speed. But if you have a lot of programs going on, I suggest you close the unnecessary ones. Or it might be the memory RAM your computer has. Check in on that. Or it might be because your running low on Memory in your main drive (which should be Drive C).

I assume you are using a Windows PC and not a Mac. if it is a Mac, i cannot help you.

Plus, if your computer revives, check for viruses.
