Force shutdown not responding

[KooBrewoP]

the Netgear internet connection usb device software im using at the moment has a tendency to crash and take my system with it. The problem is that force shutdown (holding down power button ) only works intermittently. Sometimes i have to press it for over 5 mins before it decided it wants to shutdown! is there anyway to force the force shutdown as it were 😛

thanks

Cutting the power would most likely do it. As for forcing the forcing of the forcing you would need to go to your circuit breaker and turn it off from there. If you wanted to go further than that, you see that box at the end of your street...?
