I've been trying to fix my laptop for a week, every time I think I got it working again, something new pops up. I'll try to abbreviate this as much as I can:

Backed up and reformatted, drivers and utilities disc that came with the system (ASUS) is for the wrong OS, had to use a second computer to manually download all the drivers and utilities, after installing the utilities the system's inability to start up is back, (though now I can at least access safe mode) one of the drivers must be the culprit.

I don't know which it might be, my first guess was fancystart, but turning that off via msconfig didn't do the trick. Not sure if this link'll work (site keeps screwing up) but here are the drivers in question: http://support.asus.de/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us for F50SV

The only thing I can think of trying in that situation is trial and error.
Clean install.
Then one driver at the time. Remember to reboot after each driver is installed. See if it breaks at that point. If one driver seems to hang, you've got your culprit. Likely bad hardware for the device. Hopefully it's something replaceable (mini-pci card, as opposed to graphics card or chipset)
also consider doing a memory test. and check for temperatures of components after extended usage. badly applied thermal paste on CPU or GPU could make the system go haywire.
