        Looks like a virus does the message says "close your applications" something like that and it will have a timer. Is that what the message says?

        To stop the restarts go to Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery and uncheck auto start on errors...
        You will now get BSOD error messages instead of restarts...copy down all the info from the Blue screen including the gibberish and post it here...
        This will give us a clue as to what's causing the issue.

          Download Hijackthis and run a scan + save log file. Post that log here, I'd bargain that something will show up.
