PS4 display issue when starting console normally.
when i start my ps4 in safe mode it displays just fine no issues at all , but it restarts the HDMI picks up the signal i know this because the screen goes black and the it lets me know the HDMI signal is good but all i get is a black screen this and this only happens when i turn on the ps4 normally. I know the HDMI port works because i replaced it thinking maybe the port was bad but its not, i have tried 2 different cables same result. I know the PS 4 is powered up just fine because i see the blue light i have even replaced the Hard Drive with a new one same result. I was thinking maybe the video chip is going bad but again the ps4 displays just fine when in safe mode the only time it wont display is when i turn on the ps4 normally to try to use it. Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Is this a good question?
Try turning on the system without the HDMI plugged in, and after a few minutes, plug in HDMI, and see if anything changes.

You already tried to replace the HDD and completely reinstalled everything from the start? Was the HDD completely new? Sound like software/firmware related, but could be the APU, but it's not likely...
