It would restart the X server if your system is setup that way.

Sorry if i was unclear. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will only restart the x server not the whole machine. The other way is to get to a console screen and key:
init 3
This will kill the x server and leave you with just the text console.
init 5
brings the x server back up
