Hey guys, I've tried everything, and my damn comp will only boot in safe mode, my 680W PSU died, so I replaced it with a 500W PSU I have, only plugged in 3 HDDs, my video card, my CD and DVD ROMs and nothing else, I turned onmy comp, it posted, started to load windows (black WinXP screen) then it crashed and started the cycle again, except it asked me if I wanted to boot in safe mode, etc, etc, safe mode works fine, but when ever I try to boot normally, it crashes as Windows loads, I've tried the recovery console, fixboot and fixmbr, niether helped, I checked my hardware, nothing seems amaged, scanned for malware and viruses, nothing, please help me...

I think it might be videocard drivers. Boot in safe mode and uninstall or delete them. If that doesn't help - continue deleting drivers until it boots normally... Good luck!

itīs a bad driver almost for sure, but it doesnīt mean it has to be a video one, it can be a sound driver as well, do you remember installing anything before that started to hapen?

If you don't have a backup (this is why is important to have backup of your OS) you could try a fresh Instal (format OS partition, Instal Win), I know it takes some time but waiting for an answer, finding the problem, could take more and a reinstal might be the only sure solution.
