Using a power switch or forcing a power off video physical means means you're shutting down a system that the OS might not be prepared for. Meaning it may not have done it's clean up, it might leave temp files in place, half written, hard drive heads don't park, devices do not power down correctly.
It can cause all manner of issues. Most modern OS's will be able repair that sort of stuff but not always. It's always a last resort.

Computer lost power button how can I turn it on?
The power button on most desktop computers is a momentary (push to make) switch. Two wires run from this switch to a small connector that pushes onto two pins on your motherboard. You can buy a replacement switch online from many good suppliers. However, if your computer case also has a reset switch, as many do, you can save yourself time, trouble and money by simply plugging the reset switch onto the pins where the power switch would normally fit. Use your reset button to turn the computer on and off. In an extreme case, it is possible to power on the computer by shorting across the two power switch pins with any metal object for a moment. However, this is not for the faint-hearted and if a mistake is made can potentially lead to serious damage to your system.
