    You can boot into repair mode by holding the shift key while selecting Restart from the shutdown menu.

    Thanks, for some reason when I press the F8 key on bootup, it does not "register", is there any way to always show the countdown menu?

    What about BSOD screen? has anyone else looked into it? thanks
