Not sure about F8, will try it, but when I ran safemode from the initial bootup screen (had to power off, so it gives the option to start normal or safe mode), I still get the black screen after logging in, with safemode in each corner and the moveable cursor.
We just replaced the power charger jack on the circuit board last month, had to take it completely apart to do that, then we reinstalled the OS and ran the updates. It ran good for about a month until this.
