You've reported doing this multiple times. Are you aware that OpenSSH in included with OpenBSD? You can control your OpenBSD system from another, even from the Internet. You could
# pkill Xorg or
# halt or ... perhaps look through logs to see what is happening, while it is happening. This isn't Windows, mashing a power button is not always necessary.
See the ssh(1) and sshd(8) man pages, if you've never used them before.

It also said to run fsck_ffs but when i do it's duration is small-the time to just press a button-and nothing changes.

That is not helpful towards a diagnosis. A log of the specific fsck_ffs command string and the output returned will be required for any further assistance with this particular problem. It appears you've never seen
this; it would be helpful if you would take a look at it, particularly section b.

While that is possible, it's certainly not yet clear to me that this is the case.
More patience, more thoughtfulness, less panic.
