Earlier today I converted an old quad G5 to use air cooling. It brought back to life a system that wouldn't boot at all before the conversion. I was able to install leopard without issue. But it boots to safe boot every time and has since the first boot after installing Leopard. I performed the apple diagnostics and everything passed. I reset the PRAM and it still boots to safe boot every time. I have no idea how to get it out of safe boot or what logs to read to find out what could be causing the issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That’s odd. What happens if you boot into the install media?
