System Reboots
When a computer reboots continuously, most often it is because a virus has hijacked the boot sector, which creates a continuous loop. The system is told to go back to the boot sector and reboot.
-If your system freezes or hangs while trying to boot, or while accessing a file or program, it may be caused by corrupt files, shared files that are conflicting, or too many system resources that are being used.
