Can't Boot - Normal or Safe Mode

    Regular mode hangs after the initial B&W load screen - shows black screen and nothing more. Safe mode gets as far as the "click your user name" screen, tries to display the icons but only getrs one or two painted before it locks up. At that point, Task Manager shows one svchost process taking 50% of the CPU, with Explorer taking the other 50%. Can't get past that point. I /can/ get to safe mode with command prompt. Chkdsk at that point runs to completion with no problems.

    Any suggestions?

    You may be better off working this in the Software Forum. However have you tried (even if it is from safe mode):

    sfc /scannow from the command prompt

    Can you get files on to this PC some how. If so I would like to get a HijackThis log per the below steps (but obviously yours will have to be from safe mode):
