On pretty much every computer I’ve seen since ATX became a thing, pressing and holding power for I think 6 seconds (but could be another specific time) has force powered off the whole thing. Hibernation should kick in on a single press if you have it configured that way and trigger on the release of the button.

What if it’s a laptop?

Hold the power button for 10 seconds!
Unless pressing the power button triggers hibernation.

It takes my laptop about 10 seconds to force power off, but usually 5 to hibernate.
Disconnect the battery terminals obviously!
Or just wait a while
