Based on your description of being able to Safe Boot (holding down the shift key) but not boot normally, it sounds like your startup/restart issue may be related to one of the things that Safe Boot disables. You can find more information about them here:

It may also be related to a disk or file system issue (as that is also something checked during Safe Boot). You may find these articles helpful as well:
