They just signal the computer to do a software shutdown, a signal it may or may not obey depending on how it feels and whether it's busy. For a hard shutdown you have to hold the button in for 10 seconds to signal the power supply to turn off. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

So I tried the holding down on the power button, and that finally straightened it out.

But apparently that was still the problem, because I had to hold the power button in before it would clear the screen and restart. Thanks, Andrew.
