windows shutdown and reboots in a continuous loop

I'm not able to get the program to stay on long enough to run in safe mode or run the anti virus program. Which key should I be hitting to get the option to run in safe mode? Maybe I'm not even doing that right.

F8 is the key you're looking for. Here's a link to the Sasser fix.
