I was watching a movie on my PC, and after I finished, I pressed the escape key to exit fullscreen mode. Suddenly, my computer shut off completely and now it won't turn back on at all. I'm not sure what to do next—any suggestions?

I get why you might think they’re connected, but the keyboard press likely didn’t cause the shutdown. It could be a hardware failure. If you’ve tried everything and it’s still unresponsive, it might be time to take it into a repair shop.
What type of computer is it? If it's a desktop, after checking the outlets, pay close attention to the power supply unit. Try to see if there's any issues there—sometimes they just go out. More details can help us pinpoint the issue better.
Have you tried smelling near the power supply vent? If there's a burnt smell, it could indicate a failure. If you don't get any odor, we'll need to look deeper.
First things first, check if your computer is plugged into a surge protector. Sometimes they can trip, so see if that happened. Also, take a look at your power supply for any safety switches that might have popped. If nothing seems off, try plugging it into a different outlet in another room to rule out any power issues.
It's definitely worth checking the power source before diving into any hardware tests. The timing of the shutdown seems like a coincidence related to hitting the escape key, not something that triggered it directly.
