Hello liamkincaid25,

First, a request of you...would you please turn off the caps when posting? I really makes for tough reading! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif

If you can boot into SAFE MODE (a minimal set of drivers) and are not experiencing any problems, it would seem to be that you have a driver issue here.

You would want to make sure that you have all the latest drivers for MB and Video.
