If you can isolate about when the install errors out, that would be great.
If it is rebooting in the middle of the copying files (initial blue screen
set-up) then this would most likely be a hardware issue.
However if this happens during the pretty GUI (Graphical User Interface)
the one that shows process of the installation then we can try to find what
is running when it reboots. I suggest you hold Shift and press F10 right
before the time it reboots. Then you can run commands to see what is
currently running and stop services or processes.
If you type taskmgr it should bring up task manager and you can start
troubleshooting more.
I hope this helps. Next time a little more information on the type of O/S
you are installing (Home or Pro) and exactly when the machine reboots (like
a snip it of the writing on the screen) can help narrow down
troubleshooting your problem.
Have a nice day.
