When I am tapping the above my puter is refusing to go to the boot up screen, it just freezes. Ideas please?

    If you are using XP then yes F8 will get you into the boot menu. Some older PC's have problems with USB keyboards as the load in a particular order.

    Agree with Strider, why safe mode? System Restore? VGA Issue?

    Try F12. Not all BIOSes recognise F8 at power-on time...

    System Restore won't change that!
