Once I turn on the computer it goes to a black screen to were I choose to boot in "safe mode" Once I choose the "safe mode' the computer acts like its going to boot up but it just brings me back to the same screen. I have no idea to what to do next. Please help.

When you get the tart in safe mode? you can go to the other options there using the up/down on the keyboard. one of them says

"Try last known good configuration"

did you select that option and try it?

(all credit to jbennet if this works)
Never begin a job by looking at a computer and saying, or even thinking "this won't take long..."

If all else fails, use a bigger hammer.
