Answer You face two problems.
1- More than likely you have a bad virus infection.
2- Your Operating System may be corrupt.
You need to clean out the virus before you can do anything else.
Start the system in 'Safe Mode' run your anti virus, anti trojan, and anti spyware progams and clean the system.
Once you have removed the infections restart and see if the system can sustain normal operations, if it is still restarting then you will need to back up your data and reinstall the Operating System.
