My computer keeps trying to boot in safe mode but it wont work

28porkchop · Apr 13, 2016

My computer keeps trying to boot in safe mode with networking because a program I was using to try to fix Internet issues told it to. The computer tries to boot in safe mode every time I try to turn it on, but it just goes to a black screen.

Try launching msconfig.exe (use search to find it), check the boot tab and deselect safe boot if it's set.

Edit: Can you get to desktop at all?

If you have the install media (DVD/USB) you could try the repair utility. I've had some success with this. Which version of windows?

Have you tries getting to the boot menu via F8? from there select boot normally

Sorry, edited my post quick. Anyways...try pressing F8 starting during POST. If you get to a boot menu select "Start Windows Normally", then check msconfig as advised. If you can't get this to work you will need either a DVD install disk with your version of windows, or a USB stick with same. You'll need to boot from this so getting into the BIOS to change boot order will be the next step. Try F8 and see how it goes.

Is there a repair option? I haven't had much success with it but it's worth a try.

ive tried it, it just does the same thing

Damn..well you are gonna have to try the media method. If you have the disk/usb drive insert it and restart. If it boots from the hard disk you will need to enter the BIOS and alter the boot sequence. This is motherboard or PC manufacturer specific so you will need to Google your system model or mainboard model to get the keypress. It's usually like F2 or delete, try these if you wish.

i dont have my disc, is there any way to do this without it that you know of?
is the bios menu that you get when you take out the battery on the mobo the same thing?

CelicaGT · Apr 13, 2016
