Hanging at startup, Safemode OK
Hello all, The other day I had a problem with my computer. I woke it up from sleep mode, played some battlefield 3, and then shut it down. When I tried to start it again my bios posted correctly and then I see the windows "starting" screen, and the four orbs meet ad the windows logo just hang there. My HDD activity light goes crazy and then just stops, and it will not boot, it just hangs there forever. I can boot into safemode fine, but I do not know how to pinpoint the cause of this issue. I am either thinking it is a driver issue or a recent software change. I installed the newest nvidia driver for my gtx 460's in sli and i had fine performance and startups with them, but now I get this. I did not think a video driver would cause these issues, but I could be wrong. I also only have my keyboard and mouse plugged in because I have had issues with conflicting usb devices in the past.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
thanks
