To start in Safe mode, reboot your machine. When the bios finishes loading, hit F8 to get the startup options.

Make sure you remove your old monitor from the system...it may have configuration settings that are causing trouble with the new monitor.

You may also want to take a look at your video card settings. The colors/refresh rate etc for your previous monitor may be the source of the problem.

Also, don't overlook using the monitor's adjustment controls...

Good luck! Hope this helps!
