M3 MacBook Pro 14 inch freezing

My 14 inch m3 MacBook Pro has completely frozen. There’s no power button. I pressed the Option, Command, and Esc keys simultaneously but this didn’t work.

2023 MacBook Air M2 15" 16 Ram 512Gb Sonoma freezes, no apparent reason? Today Sat. Nov 4th/23, My approx 3 weeks old MacBook Air froze just browsing web using Safari and earlier using *Find My* to adjust settings for notifications. I couldn't get it to respond at all, tried using Apple Menu in top left to shut down and nothing would happen. I finally figured out holding the finger print sensor key down long enough shut it down. Yes, I'm new to Mac systems. Is there a way to figure out what's going on?

A deep press and hold of the touch-ID sensor for about ten seconds will do an emergency, uncontrolled power-down.
