Hit Win + R, type "msconfig" and execute
go to boot > advanced options and make sure both "maximum memory" and "number of processors" are unchecked, save and reboot.

In that case, you need access to a computer to dowload teh neccesary files to make a bootable USB drive and make a fresh install of windows.
