So, I was playing CS:S. The game stuttered and I pressed the Windows Key. It went to the desktop but went back into the game. Now, I can't do anything. I can move the mouse, but WinKey and Alt-F4 don't work. I don't want to hard-reboot, because I don't want to hurt the computer.

Help?

ctrl alt delete and end whichever process the game runs in(i think source games run under hl2.exe but cs:s might be different?)

Will it hurt it? If so, how should I do it? Just hold the power button down?

I force shutdown my computer continuously, works fine.
(just hold down the power button)

Just one more question.
I did it once before, and after that we had to replace the PSU and reinstall Windows. It's not my computer, and it's the same computer that it happened on.
