My computer is clean of malware, this has been happening since i turned it on for the first time

mabey it mabey be an issue with over heating.

if that is not the case, is there any error display (BSOD) (even for a fraction of a second) with the words page_fault or driver_orql_less_then_or_equal ?

if there is a blue screen, it'll be just a flash of blue between the restarts if you don't enable a setting that makes the computer pause so you can read what is on the screen. boot into safe mode by tapping F8 repeatedly as the computer boots and try to change the following setting:

control panel, system, advanced tab, startup and recovery settings, under system failure, uncheck 'automatically restart'

restart normally and if the problem persists, you will find that you can read the blue screen now, if there is one, which there will certainly be if it's a driver problem as you suspect it is. there is an error code associated with the error and a phrase following the error code. post back with the information here and someone will be able to tell you how to fix it.

It seems it was a device driver because when i changed the settings as you suggested i got a blue screen heres what its said:

DRIVE_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL


0x000000D1 (0x000000EC, 0x0000002, 0x0000001, 0xB66D68D4)
