Are you able to boot into Safe Mode? If yes, then it could indicate
that perhaps a driver is malfunctioning, a startup program is causing
the restart, or malware has hijacked some critical startup service. More
than likely a driver or service, because the "reset" happens even before
you get to the login screen.

If No, then use the F8 boot options, and use the "Disable Restart On
System Failure" option. If it is a BSOD you're getting, then this option
will allow you to see it and further diagnose what the problem is.
