    Tap the F8 key when the splash screen shows [ That's the screen that says who made your pc] Tap it 3 or 4 times and pause

    Select your option with the arrow keys and enter

    Fire up your machine and during POST (the screen before Windows splash screen) press F8 repeatedly.
    You'll then be presented with a load of text and one of them is safe mode.

    You don't want any of the ones with network, just normal Safe Mode.
