What did you do prior to windows not booting. There are many possiblities but I can't tell you unless you tell me what you did. From the top of my head I cant think of two things. Either you have way too many things on your hard drive. If thats is the case load to safe mode and start deleting things you dont need or use. And second something uninstall the last program that you installed or ran before the error happened. write back with more info.

It sounds to me like there are bad sectors on your hard drive which are being bypassed in safe mode. Start it in safe mode and run scandisk. If it reports bad sectors, replace the hard drive.
