This is a short but sweet tip that you will need to use one day. Sometimes when your computer will not boot you can try to boot in safe mode. Once I have done this you can try and restart. Most of the time it gets back to normal, however sometimes you need to find a deeper problem. Like recent software installations or a corrupt file.
How to boot to safe mode?
- Start your computer.
- While starting up press F8 key. (When its on the first boot screen.)
- If you miss the right time just restart the computer and try again.
- A few choices will appear on screen, then choose Safe Mode.
If you need a full explanation then please see what is safe mode?
