Q: Problems upgrading to Mavericks

Hello - I am attempting to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.1 but have run into a major roadblock.  I have downloaded the file three or four times and have tried this on numberous occassions in the past two weeks with no luck.  The only way I can open the computer after being udated is in Safeboot mode.  When I attempt to open it normally, I get a grey screen with lots of numbers and mistakes and then it recycles off and on again - with the same result.  Here is the error that keeps getting sent to Apple:

I can (and have) return to my current operating system, 10.8.5, because I have a cloned drive that I made with SuperDuper, but I would love to figure out why I cannot get my computer to update.  One note, when using it in Safebbot mode, the screens have this hurky jurky motion as I drag windows around - and they flash at me a lot.  When running in 10.8.5, smooth as glass. They are Apple 30" and 23" Cinema screens.

I have a big MOTU audio recording system attached to the computer, but I cannot run it without that - that's my bread and butter.

Any thoughts as to how to make this work?  I own and have run TechTool 7 - optimized the rive.  It's defragmented, running smooth as far as I can tell.

Please help me bring in the New Year with a working system!

Thanks.
