Question

Need more info:

Motherboard

and everything hooked up to it
ie : hard drive, graphics card, sound card, etc....


If windows has automatically installed your graphics drivers because you have an onboard VGA or a graphics card that Windows has drivers for then this could be your hangup. That is why Safe mode works for you because it doesn't load any graphics drivers...

Also if you have an onboard VGA plus a graphics card - disable the onboard VGA eithier in the Bios (recommended way) or in device manager (while in safe mode)

Try Starting your Computer in Enable VGA Mode and then try to Install the Video Drivers in VGA Mode.
Else if you have some diagnostics try running diags on HDD & RAM.
