How can I start my dell 5150 desktop in SafeMode?

whenever I start my dell desktop 5051, I get a black screen. I want to start it in safe mode, but I can't. I put the CD of the OS in and tried then tried to use the drivers and Utilities CD, but same results.all I want to know is how can I start in safe mode?

I tried hitting F8 as soon as I turn it on, but all that appears is a loading screen with:
REFERENCE DELL
www.Dell.com
Dell DM051 series
* loading bar *.
BIOS revision A07
it freezes it...

If the computer is at a standstill during the POST screen, more often than otherwise, it means you have a hardware problem.  I recommend the section on the Product Support site at dell.com and see if you are able to find troubleshooting tips there.

Worst case, you can contact Dell Technical Support for assistance.
