Can you try to boot into Windows Safe mode? Hit F8 right after the POST completes.

Hello,

How far do you get with booting? Does windows start to load, then restart or does it randomly reboot when powered on?

Was any updates or programs installed before shuting the laptop down?

1. Blank screen
2. Manufacturers welcome screen
3. Loading windows
4. Log on screen
5. Desktop

Try removing the laptop battery, they can cause this. - unplug the power supply first!
Also, check your power supply is giving the correct voltage.
