If the problem you are facing is not appearing when you start your machine in safe mode, then you can easily resolve the issues by removing the device drivers or making modification in the default settings. Booting in Safe mode allows the system to start up avoiding unnecessary applications and programs. Sometimes the problems start to show up after you install any new software program on your system, if that is the case then start your computer in Safe Mode and remove the particular program that causing problems.
Besides this, safe mode is considered as the diagnostics mode of windows operating systems, which enables only minimum number of drivers and system services, so you can easily spot out the issues related to hardware and software malfunction. In safe mode a standard video driver gets loaded, but it has only a limited resolution, so you may experience a drop in the clarity.
