Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet Keeps Going into Factory Mode

My Galaxy Tab 8.0, GT-N5110 keeps going into Factory Mode. When I look up both Factory Mode and Factory Test in Applications, Factory Mode only has "Force stop" highlighted to click on. When I look at "Factory Test", the Clear cache, Clear data, and Force stop are all highlighted to click on. I click on all and a little while later it goes back into Factory Mode.

I've tried everything I've seen online - Factory Data Reset in the Settings, Factory Data reset by holding down the home button, volume up and power buttons, remove the battery for 1 minute to clear bios, I downloaded the firmware from Kies, and I've tried other things I saw online. It doesn't seem to matter, it keeps going into Factory mode. Is there anything I can do? Please help.

The tablet works fine and does everything it should, it just keeps going back into Factory Mode.
