Hello, and Welcome to techhelpforum.
Your problem sounds like it could be either hardware or software related. Can you boot and stay running with a bootable media? (Floppy or CD) If so, it's software related.
How old is the machine?
Desktop or Laptop?
Dust on components, especially the CPU fan/heatsink assembly and the power supply, can cause these symptoms. (Relates to heat and "safety" shut-downs.)
The next time the machine starts (and runs) right click on My Computer, choose Properties, Advanced, and click Settings under Startup and Recovery. Remove the checkmark from Automatically Restart under System Failure. Click OK and OK.
Can you start in Safe Mode? (Start tapping the F8 key during a boot.) If you achieve this, you can do the above while in Safe Mode.
