    Did you load the drivers for your graphics card?

    What is listed in the Device Manager under Display adapters?

    Start/Run/ devmgmt.msc

    Safe Mode loads the basic Windows VGA drivers so your graphics card is bypassed.

    This leads me to believe that you haven't loaded the NVIDIA drivers.

    They are here:

    Driver Installation Hints

    * "Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.

    * Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.

    * Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove.
