Does it work when system is not hung up? When a PC freezes you have no keyboard control at all, so it wouldn't work then. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....."

I had the same problem for a while until I got a copy of Coolkill from Outloud Software. It resides on your taskbar and a right mouse click shows all processes running in the order they were started. It doesn't tell you if a process is no longer responding but it does allow you to shut down those that are and gracefully shut your system down. I've found that most of the time, if a process isn't responding, Coolkill can't shut it down - but I've rarely had to resort to the reset button. There's always a better way...
