Did you make any BIOS changes or do any work inside the machine?

    You certainly have an unusual problem. Have you checked the system for a
    virus? Running a free online scan wouldn't hurt anything. If it's fine in Safe Mode,
    this tells me that it's related to something running on the system.

    Run a free online Virus scan: VIRUS

    Another possibility is an Internet Explorer file problem. Many IE files are part
    of your desktop, and can even cause a blank desktop. Try the repair below to
    check the IE files. If you receive a prompt that it can't be repaired, you must
    reinstall it. Microsoft Internet Explorer

    Repair Internet Explorer: Select Start/Run, type MSINFO32 in the 'Open'
    box and press enter. From the 'TOOLS' menu select 'Internet Explorer Repair
    Tool'. Then from the next menu select the repair option.
