Pc keeps rebooting

This will most likely be a virus which has caused you to loose important files needed for booting the pc

This may get you back up and going again, but you will need to back up your files first.

Take the drive out of the pc and and place into another pc to get those files backup.

You can use an removable docking station like this one. It connects via a usb lead.



You may have only damaged the boot up part of the drive, your information will hopefully still there.

Do not go any further until you have backed up your important files.
