I've just started having this new problem in the past 2 days or so. I have no idea what is going WRONG, so I'm hoping someone else can help me figure this out. I turn on the computer and everything is loading up fine, the memory test goes fine and all of the hard drives are found. The computer hangs up at the blue screen where it displays what version of windows im running and with how much memory. I can let it SIT there all day and there wont be any activity noise coming from the computer, and nothing else happends. If I boot into safe mode however, everything works like a charm.

Now, just PRIOR to this problem I had something very similar to it. When I would turn on the computer it would get through everything fine, even pass that blue screen part, but instead of showing the windows LOGON gui it would just show a black screen. No cursor, not logon boxes just black. I found out that if I booted into safemode and then restarted normally it would all work fine. This no longer works with the computer hanging up at the blue screen.

So, I'm a bit perplexed as to what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciatedTry booting into SafeMode & deleting the video drivers  , then reboot as normal.
