Since you can come up in safemode run your virus scanner to look for
viruses.
Also in safe mode run MSCONFIG and disable all services except for
Microsoft Services, then reboot. If it works in that condition, then
you have a tedious but very easy task ahead of you.
Keep running MSConfig and enabling services one by one or a few at a
time and reboot until you find the service that is hammering your PC.
You may be right about it being a virus.
Look at the services running and a lookup any that you don not know
what they are.
