Re: Windows asks, start normally, in safe mode, etc.

Thanks for the good information. The problem was solved by removing software
by the name of Pivot Pro. This software is for turning a monitor from
landscape to portrait. The software apparently has a conflict with the
GIGABYTE M/B.

Thanks Again,

Turned on the computer and was asked how do you want to start windows. I
chase normallyIt then rebooted and asked the same question. I said normally.
It rebooted and asked the same question. I chose safe mode with network
support. I did a system restore to 2 days earlier when I know the computer
worked fine. All restored well. I shut down the computer normally, restarted
the next day and got the message how do you want to start windows. I did a
safe mode start and did a restore and am up and running. I don't want to turn
it off again for fear of getting this death loop again. What can I do to fix
this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
