Acer W10, Constantly rebooting

Options
Hi
My old Acer 5742, wont start. Just keeps constantly rebooting in W10.

All i seem to be able to do is press F2 at start up. But then cant see were to go into safe mode.

I do have recovery dvd discs, but the drive starts but doesnt get far enough before it reboots.

Any ideas what to do?
Thanks

    Thanks
    Ended reinstalling from scratch with the Acer built in program.
    Luckily had everything backed up.

    Now the battery has a red x on it, says it has a problem should be replaced and computer may shutdown suddenly.

    Maybe this was the problem and crashed the hd?
