pc attempting to restart continually

Hello Malcolm,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and we regret for the inconvenience. Let me assist you.

Now, to be able to understand the issue better, let us know a few more details on the below questions.

• What is the make and model of the PC you are referring to?
• What was the host operating system installed in your PC? If you performed Windows 10 upgrade, was it via Media Creation Tool or through Windows update?
• Did you make any recent hardware/software changes to the computer, prior to the issue?
• Did you notice if Windows is trying to configure any settings before failing or crashing out?
• Do you receive any error messages in the subsequent restart after Windows fails to load at the first instance?
• Are you able to start the computer normally in Safe Mode with Networking?
  
  (This is a diagnostic step towards identifying and isolating any particular cause to the issue.)
  
  Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
  

If you are able to boot the computer normally, I suggest you to check for particular event IDs in the Event Viewer which can help us to ascertain the cause of the issue.

To view activities in Windows, I suggest you to open the Event Viewer. To do so, follow the below steps.

• Go to the Control Panel and choose to click on the
  Administrative Tools icon.
• The above action will open up a new window of the Administrative Tools where you will see the
  Event Viewer.
  

Write to us with the updated status and the required information for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank You.
