    Intel/Nvidia/ATI graphics? Go to the Control Panel or click on the Intel/nvidia/ati tray icon and select properties. Under one of the tabs is an entry for screen rotation. Set it back to where it was and clear the checkbox for using hotkeys.

    My dear nephew did this to the SIL's PC by accidentally pressing the hotkey combo for rotating the screen.

    here's another tip you could try if you get this happening again:

    CTRL+ALT+UP Arrow

    The kids in college are always turning the computers on their heads and it drives the tutors mad!
