ok so first things first, the other day i turned on my pc and went to logon (dont even know why i have a logon still, never really bothered me until now) and it came up with the message 'user profile service failed the logon, user profile could not be loaded'. so i look it up on forums, and there are a few tutorials on youtube. easy right?, well they say first you boot windows in safe mode using F8. for me F8 is not working, ive tried many different F keys and otheres like esc and del but nothing seems to happen. its not a key-bored problem because i can open the bios straight away by using keys like F12 F2 etc. im kinda stuck, what shall i do?

gigabyte mobo and amd processor if that helps
also windows 7 64bit

F8 is not a bios key shortcut, its built into the bootup sequence. Right after you get the bios good 'beep' start pressing it repeatedly and that should trigger it. I usually do 1 second presses, release and 1 second press , repeatedly right when I hear the beep.

yeah i know, i do that and nothing happens, ive tried pressing F8 a number of different ways eg. holding it down, pressing it very fast repeatedly, and 1 second presses and it just doesn't do anything, i have no idea why.
