Help Poweramp (I'm pretty sure) doesn't allow my phone to start up anymore

Before I start, I should just say that my phone has problems with third party music player apps, including Google Music. This happened after I installed the beats audio driver to my phone (not really sure if that was a good idea anymore) and immediately after, my phone was working different. Google Music, or any third party music player apps worked anymore, the only one being the standard android music app. So today, I got the great idea to get Poweramp, which, I previously knew didn't work. I was just hoping maybe it would work. Of course, it didn't. Instead, my phone froze up (what usually happens when launching the third party apps) and rebooted it self. Except, I noticed that it was in an infinite loop of restarting. It would reboot, show the lock screen (frozen) and then start to reboot again. I've taken the battery out, let it sit for about a half an hour, and yet, nothing. Like I said, it has had problems with Poweramp and music players like it, but never to this degree. I'm pretty confused as to what to do. I can't start my phone up long enough to uninstall Poweramp, I can't do anything with my phone on. You guys have any ideas?

BTW: I'm a bit of a noob to the whole android rooting stuff, so bare with me.
 
Nevermind, leave it to android to fix it's self. I'll let you guys know if anything acts up again. I'd still like to fix the who, no third party music apps thing though.
 
I have the same problem. It probably has to do with the lock screen settings in PowerAmp, because why else would Android refuse to boot all the way, and reboot just as the lock screen image appears.
