everytime i go into safe mode it says input signal out of range, so it must be my screen, which is strange

and if i cant

how do i go i go into system restore mode without going into safe mode

I can't think of other ways to get to system restore off the top of my head, but I'm a little concerned about that monitor... Is it a LCD? I had one that acted similarly, and eventually just died.

Have you just selected last known good configuration from the boot screen?

If your signal is going out of range in safe mode, that is a serious problem. That means the default refresh rate of 60 Hz is too high (or low) for that monitor, and no monitor under the sun has a problem with 60 Hz in SM resolution unless it's defective.

Definitely take it back. ASAP. Get it replaced under warranty.

Agreed... Or at least try another monitor on it if possible, but it's probably a faulty LCD.

wtf ??

it works fine, everything is amazing but it cnat gointo safe mode

if i never needed to go into safe mode, i wouldthink this was the greatest screen in the world

AND - i went into system restore without going into safe mode ,, which means i could have avoided all of this

Yeah...well I assumed you were going to safe mode to run system restore because you couldn't boot

Still, if you can't run basic VGA mode, something's wrong...
