Unless you can access your OS, you are going to need to reformat. By trying to repair Windows is a waste of time as before the disk can be ran, the PC will start rebooting again. The only possible solution is to take the Hard Drive out and put it in another PC, as an extra drive. When you have booted the other PC, you will see your HDD in "My Computer". You should be able to find the corrupt program and uninstall it. You can now put your HDD back into your PC. One word of warning, the PC that you use for this should have the same File System (Fat 32, BTFS etc.) otherwise you may be asked to format your HDD.

have you left any USB devices or CD's in any of the drives? If so, it may be trying to boot from these, (causing this loop.) enter BIOS settings (usually F8) and make sure its set to boot from hdd drive. If that does not work it may be due to a component falling loose inside, (very likely if you've had to turn it on its side or move it.) Hope that helps a bit!

Start pc in safe mode,

Then remove this software,
Otherwise there is system restore point use it.
Restore your system as an earlier.
