I was experimenting with MSI Afterburner and didn't know which version I had installed. I accidentally pushed my GPU beyond its limits. I'm using Windows 10 and don't have access to a desktop to enter Safe Mode. Trying F8, F2, F10, Shift + F8 didn't help. I remember there was a Windows reinstallation disk available, but I couldn't locate it. When my PC starts up, the system loads quickly, but as soon as it tries to switch to the Sign-In screen, the screen distorts and then crashes. Is there any method to boot into Safe Mode or perform repairs without knowing these steps?

Does your system include built-in graphics? If you have another machine, you can install the same version as yours, create a bootable USB, and begin safe mode or repairs there.
