If it works in Safe Mode it's most likely the video driver. Safe mode uses standard VGA driver, and I've had the exact same symptoms with corrupt video drivers before.

In Safe Mode delete the driver for your video card and change the display properties to Standard VGA. Then reboot and see if you can get into Windows. If you can, download the latest video driver and install it in Safe Mode.
