PC Won't Boot After SP3 Install

I installed SP3, which seemed to install correctly (although it too awhile). Afterwards, I restarted the PC and it gets to the Windows screen and then stops booting. I get a black screen that says it was improperly shut down and I have a few options. 2-3 safe mode options, start normally or start with the last known good configuration. I've tried the last two many times and it does the same thing...ends up back at the same black screen again. I'm a novice (obviously) and don't know what to do. Can I restart i safe mode and delete the SP3 somehow? Thanks in advance for any help.
