What steps can be taken to determine why a computer is
booting directly to safe mode? No error messages or
missing file messages are displayed. Can any
troubleshooting be done without having to use System
Restore?
 
Are you sure that a blue screen doesn't flash on for just an instant?

If you are sure, be certain that your computer is not infected with any kind
of virus.

Then, open Help and Support and search for 'startup troubleshooter' (without
the quotes.) You will be presented with a series of steps to follow.

If you are not able to solve your problem with the startup troubleshooter,
you can move on to more advanced techniques. Try this:
