to get into safe mode press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. Don't worry if it doesn't boot up the chances are all your data will be okay on the hard drive. Good luck.

Another thing to try is changing the battery on the motherboard.

Same thing was happening to my computer.

Also try going into the BIOS and setting 'Failsafe' options if you can (usually on the furthest right tab)
