You can use REI or REISU to try to resurrect your badly borked system by hand without rebooting (I've often done this when using Live CDs). REISUB (with the B) actually reboots your PC. And that too is a good thing, because if executed properly, slowly, with pauses at the appropriate moments, this is better than pressing the reset button, because it'll shut down your system as cleanly as possible under the circumstances.
