I am trying to get into safe mode on my Packard Bell Imedia centre. Pressing f8 only takes me to the boot sequence screen. Any help will greatly appreciated

hi if you have a windows xp system you should try to boot by menu
pressing f8 at bios boot screen to select the option that fits better to your needs
since you are not giving more detail of what happened to your system..
you can try also a do a recovey thru the discs restoration or at boot thru recovery partition if you have it include in your hard drive..

Disconnect any new devices you may have recently added and boot the PC.

As its booting press the F8 key several times, this should bring up several boot options. Choose "Safe Mode" .

This will bring up windows in a stripped down form, once complete click on start - all programmes - accessories - system tools - system restore (This is for XP, vista and win7 are a little different)

Restore to a date prior to when all the problems started.

Assuming the monitor is fine you can try the following:

1. Open the machine and reseat the video card; if video card is onboard try
2. Unplug the machine and remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes; Its possible Windows didn't shut down properly and CMOS is preventing a normal startup; after replacing the battery, boot up (will probably start up in safe mode

If neither of these fixes the problem, you may have an issue with the monitor itself. Best of luck.

start your laptop in a safe mode by pressing F8 repeatedly during the booting process, if it boots then restore it to previous date, through system restore

Boot your system in safe mode then check, its booting or not, if boots restore it to some previous date, or change the RAM then check
please rate this solution i appreciate it

try restoring it to an earlier setting when you know it was working.

Turn on your computer and as it is starting continuously press F8 until you here a beep this will/should start your computer in safe mode. Everything will look big on your screen, ignore that for now. Go to Start>programs>accessories>system tools>system restore and choose a date when you know that your computer was working with no problems. Once it has completed the restore it will restart your computer. If asked what mode you want to boot in press 'start windows normally'.
Hopefully this will resolve your problem.
I hope this helps

try to run in safe mode when u start your computer Press F8 key continue.
then u get menu of safe mode etc....
if u able to login go to run then type: chkdsk /r"then "y"
if u not able to login u must have win xp bootable disk or recovery setup.
then boot your susstem with first boot device as cd rom.

if u want more help i help u bye chat support to.

you have disabled the vga adapter of your system
now start your system in a safe mode by pressing f8 continuosly during the booting, then restore your computer to the back date

hmmm its seems your first F8 takes you the boot menu option of BIOS not one of the windows.

So, after selecting first option again press F8 it will bring the windows boot menu options.

You can also do one thing but it might currept your operating system, even if you want to try just start booting and as well widows goin to load press and hold your power switch till you PC goes power off. So since windows did not load properly, when you will boot it automatically brigs the boot option screen to select Normal or Safe mode.


Thanks
