Black Screen With Mouse When Booting

Just to eliminate the need to post this later, my hardware is as follows:

MB: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2l
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.06GHz
GFX: nVidia 9800GT 1GB
RAM: 4GB OCZ 800MHz
OS Distro: Leo4All 10.5.6

I have acquired all of the hardware above specifically because it performs well as a Hackintosh. All hardware was 100% functional after installation.

My problem, however, is that after the first boot (when restarted) I am presented with a black screen, the mouse pointer being on the top left corner. After further experimentation, I discovered that if I boot into safe mode, and then reboot in normal mode, it will not trigger the same problem. However, after rebooting again after this, it will continue to happen. The graphics card drivers are working perfectly, as I have checked System Profiler and run several OpenGL games in fullscreen without incident.

I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me solve this problem.

Thanks,

Troy,
