If you can do anything in safemode press the MS button + Pause/Break, chose Hardware then chose Device manager and see if there's any yellows. Sometimes a driver goes awol and needs replacing.

Thanks for that but unfortunately cant do anything in safe mode

Okay try this:

On bootup press F12 which should give a command prompt and type in chkdsk /r and press return. This should fix any errors on hd which could be the problem.
