Re: start safe mode or reinstall without using monitor

 

As soon as the system restarts, start hitting F8 for a while. It’s hard to tell

when the Advanced Options prompt is finally up, but keep an eye on the hard

drive light. Safe Mode should be selected so you should be able to just press

Enter to start booting into Safe Mode. If the previous shutdown was fine, it may

have Start Windows Normally selected by default instead of Safe Mode in which

case you would press down 3 times (but it’s hard to tell which is the case).

 

You can see snaps of the Advanced Options dialog at Google Images:

RE: start safe mode or reinstall without using monitor

 

If you are seeing "no signal" on your monitor, it is time to contact a

computer technician.

All you can do is turn the power off at the wall, and make sure the cable

from the monitor to the Computer is screwed in properly at both ends.
