As soon as the system restarts, start hitting F8 for a while. It’s hard to tell
when the Advanced Options prompt is finally up, but keep an eye on the hard
drive light. Safe Mode should be selected so you should be able to just press
Enter to start booting into Safe Mode. If the previous shutdown was fine, it may
have Start Windows Normally selected by default instead of Safe Mode in which
case you would press down 3 times (but it’s hard to tell which is the case).

You can see snaps of the Advanced Options dialog at Google Images:

If you are seeing "no signal" on your monitor, it is time to contact a
computer technician.
All you can do is turn the power off at the wall, and make sure the cable
from the monitor to the Computer is screwed in properly at both ends.
