Question friend can't get computer to display in safe mode?

[Rosebourne]

So my friend had a driver issue and read that he can fix it by booting into safe mode. The computer after he had the issue has been working perfectly fine up to the point when he went into safe mode. After restarting in safe mode his computer will not display anything at all, and for some reason it stays on for 2 seconds turns off then back on and stays on.


One of my thought's is possibly maybe it's not recognizing his graphics card in safe mode and he doesn't have a integrated one. I'm wondering if it is possible to get out of safe mode without having a display or monitor to see? Like can you somehow hit the power button in a certain way to get out of safe mode?


after that I don't know what else to try if anyone has any other Ideas I would appreciate it.
