My ASUS M51AD desktop will not start except in safe mode. I had entered it to run windows defender because the computer was experiencing immense slowdowns, to the point that I had reason to believe it had acquired a virus. No malware was found with defender. On trying to restart from safe mode, the American Megatrends screen appears. At bottom the line, "S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad." appears, followed by the line ,"Press F1 to Run SETUP." F1 takes me to the ASUS UEFI BIOS Utility-EZ Mode screen. On exiting that page and restarting, windows will only boot in safe mode.
What next please?
