So I was working with my pc today when it suddenly froze, I restarted the machine and during startup I noticed that some letters were displayed wrong (like "A" where a "D" should be or "@" instead of a ".") and when windows started it displayed nothing understandable except the mouse that appeared to be normal. So i replaced all display drivers with new ones, needless to say it did not help. (Btw I could access windows through safe mode and there everything appears to be normal). So I thought maybe there is something wrong with the bios, took the battery out for 15min put it back in but no change is still displayed wrong letters and then I flashed the bios, still no change. When I start Windows normally it still displays scramble and a moving mouse. I´m using gigabyte ga-946-s3 motherboard with 1g ddr2, GeForce 8500 gt and windows xp
Any ideas on what might be not working?

Jump to PostHi and welcome to Daniweb,
As it works OK in safe mode it appears that there is something else loading in normal mode that is causing the problem. You could try disable all in msconfig and reboot and check, if all OK enable half and eliminate programs until you find …
Jump to Postrun in safe mode then use the system restore return your pc configuration last month.
Accessories-> system tools - system restore
