Have you tried the Magic SysRq key? Even in single-user mode, you
should be able to do what's needed to activate it. Check the third post
in this thread for details:

I'd also suggest doing a little experimenting before you reboot, so that
you know exactly what combination of keys works. If it works in
single-user mode, but not when you need it, there's a good chance that
whatever's wrong is hardware, but try booting into a CLI because it just
might be a video driver issue.
