Why not, that would be the first thing you should try. Just hold down the power button until the pc turns off. You are probably just in your BIOS or some firmware UI for an PCIE card or something.

Just looked it up apparently on that intel board F7 puts you into a Bios Update tool, just do as stated by randomguy, power off the PC by holding the power button or look for a sub menu that allows you to exit the screen you got yourself into.  Usually F10 is to exit the bios...   Unless it started doing some type of self update just let it do its thing if its not doing anything I would say its safe to shut it down and restart it. 

 

Here is the link to what F7 does

No problem, but sometimes its just as fast or easy to get an answer from google.  I had no idea what you were talking about but a simple search "What does F7 do on "Insert MOBO here" do?" first or second topic on google came up with the answer..  

 

Glad your computer is up and running enjoy!
