    Open msconfig and on the startup tab choose "selective startup" (disable everything from loading). Reboot. Does it boot to the gui?

        But when you do a cold boot that screen looks normal?

          comp boots up fine if  i do a shut down 1st then start the comp from there, but when i do a comp restart   thats when the prob arises
