Help!! Computer constantly restarts!

[Guest]

For the past five days my system starts up it then shuts down and restarts. I get to the log on screen, I log on and then twenty seconds later my computer stops everything its doing and shuts down. I went into safe mode and use system restore to get on( thats how im typing this message) but i shut my computer off and the next day i wake up it restarts again. System restore takes forever that cant be the only sollution. Do I have a virus? I've ran a few tests and got rid of everything on it. Please someone help. I'm scared to turn my comp. off jsut cause i know it will restart. Help, Please. Thank you.
