After a 'crash' and reinstall sp3, my computer turns in "safe" mode Help, please!

After a reinstall full of Windows and reinstall sp3, I can only raise the computer in "safe" mode  I had sp3 before and was ok? Installation online would not then end I used my original sp3 disc.

Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows.  Please note that another repair facility (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
