My PSU died and shutdown my computer whilst I was on the desktop in Windows 7.
PSU has been replaced but now I can only boot into Safe Mode.
When trying to access Windows 7 normally it hangs at the start up screen (during the animating/pulsing Windows logo).
In safe mode I have been unsuccessful in loading a previous restore point. I also can't reinstall Windows (using the disc) - it starts loading but when the computer restarts it then hangs again.
I have reset my bios.
I have an other wise clean computer, no viruses etc.
I have tried installing onto a new drive (with all other drives taken out) and again it hangs.
As a new drive doesn't work and it still hangs I am thinking it is possibly a hardware fault (the PSU dying affected something else too??) yet, in my limited knowledge, I don't understand why Safe Mode works and is stable.
I've spent the best part of 5 hours on this problem, having searched this site/the internet for solutions before I posted. I am now at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
