I have a similar problem. I get the loading screen but the video goes dark
before the desktop even shows up. I can log into safemode fine but as soon as
I start up normally the problem appears again. I have an inkling that it
might be a incorrect screen format being sent to the monitor some sort of out
of range issue. I am at a loss at how to fix this though because the screen
changes in safe mode don't change anything when you boot up normally.
