I didn't use my pc for a few months. the last time I did use it, I shut it off as I always do. When I try to start it now, I get in safe mode across my monitor. The pc is not running but the light showing the power is on is lit. how do I get past this? I have tried different ways. The only thing I have not done is remove the battery. I don't have a start up disc. It was preloaded. thx for the help.
You should be able to select a menu during start up using F keys,
one will be for bios, but another for windows I think F9 or F5.
Or in safe mode use troubleshooter.
Testimonial: "You don't understand. I only get a safe mode notice on my monitor. There is nothing going on No menus. I have tried hitting different f keys. nothing. thx anyway."

the key issue on the uncommanded shutdown is the POWER LED. If upon shutdown, the power LED Flashes AMBER, then the power supply is suspect.
If no flashing amber indication, then the next think I check is the heatsink (Processor overheating) remove, clean and apply arctic Silver heat transfer paste, see if the issuje goes away
Last but not least if the system is failing to boot, and displays a 3 4 diag LED code, then you may have a RAM module that is bad or may just need reseating. Running diags off of the Rersoujrce CD is something to look at too

I had the same problem and i used the DVI cable and it worked! The VGA slot on the computer was covered and it had a x on it. Maybe they didn't want us to use it...

You've either got a bad motherboard or a bad processor (I'd lean to the motherboard being bad). I would honestly take this into a computer repair shop and have them check both.
