Unable to Enter Safe Mode

[rumpltumpskin]

i recently got a new mobo and ever since i haven't been able to figure out how to enter safe mode. the board is an asus m5a99x evo. when i try the traditional way and tap the f8 right after start-up i am taken to a boot device menu through the asus bios and after selecting my HDD i am immediately taken to the windows 7 loading screen. is there anyway to force safe mode on restart once in windows? because i can't figure out how to do it right after the post.

Hi

AFTER you choose your hard drive...IMMEDIATELY KEEP PRESSING F8 AGAIN...then it WILL give you the list for safe mode choice...but you have to be fast...

All the best Brett
