It would like be a feature request. Yesterday I had a problem with a server. So I wanted to restart it. During the reboot the server hung up and after an hour still nothing happened. Via SSH, the server was not available but via the Proxmox console. The shell command "reboot" did nothing. The restart only worked with the command:
Code: 
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Is it possible to install a "forced restart" button in the Proxmox web interface? This button could get an additional input window like in deleting a VM to prevent errors.
 
Did you try to ssh to the server and "qm stop VM_ID_NUMBER", then "qm start VM_ID_NUMBER" ? Whilst it's doing this you can see the result in the GUI as well which is quite handy
