i am having difficulty trying to boot my desktop into windows recovery so i can go to safe mode. My xps 8700 just keeps restarting itself after it gets to blue screen saying "your pc ran into a problem, just collecting some error info and then we'll restart for you" . It shows a percentage at 0% and then just restarts and this happens overf and over again. i have tried shift and mashing f8 as people have said but obviously that doesn't work. I have tried restarting 3 times to start windows recovery automatically but nothing. Only other option i see out there is to boot from recovery dvd or a windows 8 disc which i have neither. I dont want to buy another windows 8 key as this makes no sense since my desktop is relatively new. I cant figure out what the key is for my xps 8700 either because it does not boot so there is no way to find my desktops key. i am using an old laptop to figure out what i can do.
