Question Why do I have to use safe mode when I restart?

I have sent this message a while back and I am still waiting patiently although this problem that I am having with my computer is really driving me insane. I wish someone out there could or would give me a helpful response. I have a KG7 raid mobo with a 1200 AMD Tbird processor. Every time that I have to restart due to program install or initial startup, I have to hit F8 in order to go to safe mode, then restart from there and then everything works fine after that. Can someone help?

That is really weird and I've never heard of anyone having that kind of problem before...

I think I have a fix.

Goto start>run, and type asd, and press enter. It stands for automatic skip driver. It will tell you the last drivers that failed to load when windows was starting up on a previous attempt. When those drivers fail to load, Windows will skip those drivers on every sequencial reboot until you uncheck them from the box. Odds are it is PNP Bios call.

If there are no ASD problems, it will tell you that there are no problems with the software. After you are done, it is a good idea to goto start>run, and type "drwatson" -- then, right click the new icon in your system tray, and goto view>advanced. it will give you all of the information you need for your system (drivers and such.)
