Getting A Computer Out Of Safe Mode

To get it in safe mode keep pressing F8 when Windows is loading and a menu will pop up.

The same to get it out of safe mode, although it should load Windows default.

That didn't work

:(

First things first, have you installed any new hardware/software onto your computer before it failed? If so try removing it (Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs) and try it again.

Check the Event Viewer (Control Panel>Administrator Tools>Event Viewer), look under the 'System' and 'Application' tab and check for any reoccuring errors. Feel free to PM me and then you can email me a copy of the list.

Failing this, look in the Device Manager (Control Panel>System>Hardware Tab>Device Manager) and check for any '?' symbols (indicating knackered or unavailable drivers) - install appropriate drivers if required by going to the hardware manufacture website.

Failling this, check the internals of the PC; make sure the RAM is properly seated. Also check other components to make sure they're not loose.

Failing this, see if you can restore from a restore point - this can be done by holding F8 on startup and pressing 'Start from last known good configuation'.

After all these you're probably better off making a back up of the data whilst you still can and running a repair installation of Windows.

There one or two more options before reinstalltion - feel free to PM me if you need help :)
