Windows 10: Black screen when entering safe mode

I need to enter safe mode to use a driver uninstaller as when I use it not in safe mode, it says I need to be in safe mode.



So I go to the power, hold shift, and click restart, it takes me to the menus where I go to troubleshoot, advanced, start-up settings, restart.



This would normally give the option to enter safe mode but for me as soon as I press restart I get in an infinite black screen with no cursor.



I've waited 10 mins before and it never changes, the only way to get back on the pc is to turn off the power and then back on but then when it boots up, its not in safe mode so I'm back to square.



Anyone that has a fix or any advice I would appreciate it as I can't find any fixes from other threads

Thanks in advance

Black screen even in safe mode

I'm getting a black screen with cursor after login, Windows 10. Ctrl-alt-delete shows options but choosing task manager reverts to black screen. Can enter safe mode but same issue with black screen/no task manager. Suspect display drivers may be a factor
but cant find any way to disable them. Have tried recovery mode options including uninstall updates (couldn't, encountered a problem), system restore (couldn't), start-up repair (no difference). Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Black screen, no cursor, can't enter safe mode


Okay, so I reserved my free copy of Windows 10 a few days ago, and tried to install this morning. It all seemed to be going smoothly... then everything disappeared, and I was left with a black screen for three hours. Finally in frustration I powered off and on again; The blue windows 10 logo appeared, and the loading wheel span for a few seconds, followed by the black screen again - no cursor or anything. I can't enter safe mode, either - it makes a really violent buzzing sound whenever I hit F8. I'm worried my laptop is irreparably damaged... can anyone help with this? I'm upgrading from Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron laptop (or trying to).

Thanks.

 

Cannot enter safe mode

Hi, My Asus laptop is stuck in a startup repair loop while trying to fix error 0x80070091, I've tried following things:
Use this guide: Startup Repair Infinite Loop Recovery - Windows 7 Help Forums
Use the option 'reset this pc' and tried to use 'system recovery' but all to no avail.
While in this startup repair loop it also seems impossible to enter safe mode. (I've tried to enter safe mode pressing F5 from the startup settings screen). I guess using the tweaking repair program will solve this error (0x80070091) but obviously I have to enter safe mode first. Any suggestions?


Thx!
