| Command-Option-Esc brings up the window to force quit an application. This is only available when you're already at the desktop, but you're not even getting that far.
For the record, the Command key is the one with the little cloverleaf on it.
You might want to hold down the power and then turn it on again. Once you hear the startup chime after turning it on, hold down Command-Option-P-R and let it chime for a good three-to-four times, then let go. See if that resolves anything.
