Windows XP- How to get into Safe Mode?

[Guest]

Yesterday my computer was not working and whenver I tried logging onto my
name (the only name on the computer), my computer would just restart. Or if I
let it sit for 10 seconds the computer would restart as well.. I tried for
around 50 times and it would restart everytime untill I unplugged it.
So I pressed F8 repetivily while it was starting up the next day after
getting advice from some people and it brought me to a menu of safe modes. I
tried all of the three safe modes it showed over five times each and it also
showed something that said something like 'Start computer before it was
broken' something like that and whenver I choose any of them, it will show a
code that keeps scrolling down the screen until it fills the screen and then
the computer just restarts again and brings me back to safe mode.
I cant even get back to the blue screen that lets me log onto a name now.

I want help on how to get into safe mode without my computer restarting I

and no one gave me advice that worked.

Help!

I had this error. Had to format my HDD, though there might be a fix for it,
I never found it. Do you have an XP startup disc? If so, try to boot from
there.

Ok, well I held F8 a long time and a new menu came up with a couple more
options and it had an option that said something like 'Disable automatic
restart' so I did that and now when I try to log onto my name a big blue
screen comes up saying my computer has been shut off because its protecting
it or something and that comes up every time I select safe mode or anything.
I found the start up disk and put it in and that same blue screen came up and
it said like it had emptied all junk or something (I forgot exactly what it
said) and then it said to contract someone for further help.. so help!
please!

You need to post the *exact* err msg, together with the Stop error code that
appears on the blue screen.
Otherwise its just a stab in the dark
