If you can't boot into safe mode you have a problem. If you can boot into safe mode with VGA then the problem logically points to your video card. Try setting it to a lower resolution and booting into safe mode again. Also, try installing the latest driver for your card. If you still get the black screen you're going to need some "expert" help to troubleshoot. It could be a driver problem, hardware problem, software conflict, etc. and going back and forth in a forum, especially this one, is rough.

First, however, I would recommend making sure your virus defs are up to date and then scanning for viruses/trojans. Make sure your spyware defs are up to date and then scan for spyware. If you're not using these programs and updating their defs, my suspicions turn to malware. Decent free programs are available for anti-virus and anti-spyware. Let me know if you need recommendations. Even the nonfree apps, like Macaffee and Symantec have free scanning software on their sites.
