I just built a new PC and whenever I switch it on, it boots and shows the bios screen, then asks if I want to boot into safemode or normally etc.

When I try and boot either safemode or normal my computer reboots and starts the process again.

Anyone know what this is?

Also, When I try and boot from USB it loads up the windows 8 setup page but it is frozen and screen is blurry and has lines going across it.

im pretty sure for most people bios just boots ive never heard of a bios safemode option make sure everything is plugged in. for the lines on the screen have you checked your graphics card is all the way in and connected fully?

No its not a BIOS safe mode.

It loads past the BIOS and gives me the option to boot windows. When I try and boot windows, the screen goes black, the CPU fan stops and then computer turns back on again.

Blury lines sounds like a GPU issue. Is it plugged in properly. Are all the cables secure?

Edit: didn't see the BIOS safemode part.

The thing is that the PC posts which is the strange thing.

Did you get anyone to update the BIOS for you?
