[Sodium_noir] Computer help

I'm afraid it won't go into safe mode.  It remains stuck at the same screen.  My options are:

Press <Tab> to switch to POST or <DEL> to run BIOS Setup.  I've tried both options as well but with not success.

see if you can start the computer in Safe Mode.  Hold down the F8 key during startup (from the minute you power it on thru to the screen where you can select Safe Mode) and once you get to the screen that lets you choose, select Safe Mode.  You won't be able to do much, but this will let me know if you can start the Windows system at all.

Hey everyone,

I'm having another computer problem and I was hoping someone out there might have an idea:


At the moment Ann and I are without a furnace.  Someone's been in to look at it, the parts on order, and we should have heat within a day or two.  However, we've been running space heaters to keep the temp comfortable.  Temperatures in Chicago have been flirting with the freezing mark, and with a 15 old baby we need to keep the house warm. 

Yesterday I popped a circuit breaker.  I reset it no problem, but when I went to turn my computer back on, it won't complete the start-up sequence.  It stops at a screen where I have an option to hit TAB to do one thing, DEL to do a second. 

I took it into Geek Squad at Best Buy, they plugged it in, and it worked fine.  They said maybe it just needed a moment to rest.  I brought it back home and again it won't complete the start-up sequence.

Only thing I can think of is that it's not getting enough juice, but even after shutting off every other piece of electronic equipment the computer still will not start-up. 

Any thoughts?
