100% clean install. The first go-round, I installed it- configured some stuff- and then it updated at some time. After the reboot- it's like the thing was a P2 on 256MB of RAM... Explorer wouldn't pull up, I can't launch any programs, can't open Network, can't open IE, etc. But Safe Mode works 100% fine.
So eventually I said "screw it" and did another fresh install. First bootup it worked fine. Then the ONLY other thing I did was install the chipset drivers (Windows didn't install them), reboot- and BAM- same issues.
And actually, the first time: I didn't even install the chipset drivers. So I know those weren't the issue.
Any ideas at all? Again, works in Safe Mode 100% fine. That suggests driver issues, of course, but what the crap would it be?
