Installed Win95, but when trying to load windows for the first time it freezes. PC will boot into Safe Mode. Any ideas?

If it runs in safe mode it's probably a driver. Try removing all add on device drivers such as modems nic cards etc and adding them back one at a time until you find the one that locks the machine. Once you know what the offending driver is you can download a current driver or at least check out support.microsoft.com to find any known problems in the knowledge base.

Try searching the root directory of the C: drive for bootlog.txt. If it exists you can scan it for the offending driver.
Check the following Microsoft KB Article for a good troubleshooting approach: Q136337.
