Alienware X51 Boot to Blank Screen
Just got an Alienware X51. Here's what's wrong:
I needed to install a program and was having issues, I read online to try to boot in safe mode and try to install it there (with networking on) I changed the settings so that Windows 8 would automatically boot in safe mode. Now, it boots up to nothing but a blank screen. I tried every keyboard entry thought of to try to get to BIOS or some sort of boot menu with no luck. I inserted the recovery disk that came with the desktop to try to reinstall Windows. It does not do anything, and now it will not eject.
So, I need any thoughts at all as to how I can get the desktop to not boot to an absolutely blank screen. I am at a loss as to how I can get it working again.
Thanks,
Dan
DJO.
