You must hold the power button down for at least 6 or more seconds for it to shut down the computer.
And your other problems could be a bad keyboard or connection.
Check your connection and try another keyboard. Borrow one or buy one that is not USB. They are not expensive.
If it's a USB keyboard, go into bios setup by pressing f1 or delete to enter the bios.
Find where it says to enable USB keyboard.
-Sometimes the bios will not have the USB support feature. So keep a 9 pin keyboard handy. It plugs in next to the mouse. two round holes in the back of your computer.-

if you can't shut down your computer ... then there is a problem with it, and it is VERY MUCH SO!!! not recommended that you use other methods of shutting down your computer in the first place...
so you came to the right place... but we don't know enough symptoms to really diagnose your system at this time =P
