• Booting up causes black screen with only movable cursor

I tried to boot in safe mode and got this. I am dual booting OS X and Windows 8.1, so spam hitting F8 doesn't work. How can I access my Advanced Boot Options or startup repair?
Put in a recovery drive or a windows 8 DVD - you can access tools from there. Anyway, I had this same problem with Windows 10, and I ended up reinstalling. Hopefully it'll work out differently for you.
Yeah, I had to reinstall. Shame it didn't fix the original problem, my Ethernet adapter still commits suicide after 10 minutes.
