Windows 10: preparing automatic repair loop; rivatuner uninstall

Hello,
So my computer will simply not start up. When I turn the computer on, first I get about five seconds of the MSI homescreen (just MSI on black), then add the loading wheel for half a second, freezes, then black, then MSI with "preparing automatic repair" for a second, then add on the loading wheel for a second, then freeze, then black, then MSI homescreen for a sec and add the loading wheel... And so on. You get it.*
I just uninstalled the companion to afterburner, rivatuner, because when I tried to end the program the UI kept popping back up, and the only way to delete it that I found was to go to the program file, delete everything I could, and then run the uninstall, after which it stated I needed to restart my computer. I did, and here we are.
I run an MSI GE70 2PE PRO-012, windows 10, and I know how to get to the bios. I cannot, however, figure out how to get to the Windows safe mode option.
I know I made a mistake with the rivatuner delete, but please... Send help!*

:)

Preparing automatic repair loop

My Asus laptop is stuck in "preparing automatic repair". The notice comes up on the screen, then the laptop shuts down, repeatedly. The changes I made before this happened - I disabled AOL at startup, and uninstalled Candycrush and Solitaire. I do not
have any windows media to use for reinstallation and I'm not that computer savvy. Help!

 

1) Power on the computer and as soon as you see the Microsoft icon power off.
2) Power on again and as soon as you see the Microsoft icon power off.
3) Power on and allow it to open the windows advanced troubleshooting menu.
4) In the windows advanced troubleshooting menu start with restore.
5) If restore works run the DM log collector so that we can troubleshoot.

and make a backup of the drive using Macrium:

6) If restore fails attempt a startup repair.
7) If it fixes the computer then post a zip for the DM log collector and make a backup using Macrium.
