Hi,

Try hitting F8 as soon as the system first initializes to get the boot menu,
then choose safe mode. If that starts ok, then restart the system normally
from there.

Hi,

Probably too late for you, but no you don't need to hit the FN key, just the
F8 key. This is done immediately after the initial system POST or
manufacturer logo/splash screen, and before Windows begins to load.
