I tried all but nothing worked. I pressed F8 and nothing came out.

Press and hold the “F8” key while your computer restarts, just before the Windows logo displays on the screen.

I have solved the problem by removing the CMOS battery in the hard drive. I started the computer after that, it worked perfectly,then I replaced the  battery. I am fine now.
