Sometimes when i start up the computer just before it finishes loading the shortcuts and everything it will shutdown and restart again. Sometimes it does this 3 times in a row, but other times it doesnt happen. Any ideas on what it could be and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Unplug all peripherals from the computer but keyboard and mouse.

Tap F8 (usually) to boot into safe mode, and uncheck the auto restart.
Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery
uncheck auto restart
See if you spot any errors in Device Manager, and have a look at your event logs.
