What can you do to stop a computer from repeatedly restarting in a continuous loop?

Answer 1

Check if any capacitors are leaking on the motherboard. My company services Acer computers and we had a problem where multiple computers were shutting down and restarting. The capacitors were leaking and couldn't hold a charge causing the reboot. The top of the caps are suppose to be flat, if you see a bulge at the top of the caps or stuff leaking out of caps, there's the problem.

Try to clean your registry, a corrupt registry can also be the reason of computer shutting down.

Answer-- 1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.

2. Under System Failure, view the Automatically restart check box. If the Automatically restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer stops unexpectedly.

Have you tried the system file checker? I'm sure you know how, but just in case: Insert the XP CD in the CD-ROM drive: Start >> Run >> type: sfc /scannow.
