Turn the unit off Then turn the unit on

At the second screen start tapping the F8 key.

When ask; select "Safe Mode"

If your unit boots; your problem is a driver issue.

If your unit does not boot; you have a hardware issue.

Driver issues can be fixed in Safe Mode Simply upgrade them.

Hardware issues can be fixed by changing the hardware in question; or changing the OS.
