in right place alo frequent rebooting can be a virus issue

symatec very good one.. for fixing windows xp as well as
other prblems of windows like ActiveX others are system

Any error messages? This is often a sign of the msblaster worm.
The recommended first step is to go to

RUN, then type
shutdown -a

to stop the rebooting so you can deal with the problem.
