Cannot boot off of CD or USB
Recently my computer stopped booting and since windows 10 does not have an easy way to go into safe mode to get into Command Prompt I have decided I will just reinstall the OS all together. First I used the installation media creator from Microsoft to make the CD, and then I tried to boot of the CD. I powered on my computer, pressed F12 and selected the CD drive, however the computer would not do anything and I even left it running for 30 minutes, with no results. The CD drive is not the problem because it is an external drive I used on another computer to burn the disk in the first place. Then, I used the same software to create a USB. I then did the same thing, by booting off the USB, but no display has showed despite being on for more than 30 minutes. I have tried both the CD and USB over and over again with no results. I am at my wit's end and any help will be greatly appreciated.
This is the exact laptop I have: ://www.amazon.com/Acer-E5-573G-59C3-2-20GHz-GeForce-Bluetooth4-0/dp/B0105JD1HE/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466626158&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=acer+espire+e5+nvidia+gtx+940
