Computer restarts after every 5-10 seconds, won't even boot to BIOS.

It has to be a hardware issue. I can't do any of those steps because the computer restarts it self even before the monitor turns on. No there was no changes prior to this issue and no message pops up because like I said the computer restarts itself before the monitor comes on.

Thank you for your update on the issue Cliff!

Well, if you are not able to boot the computer even to the manufacturer's logo, then it seems to be something suspicious with the hardware. In that case, I would suggest you to contact your system's manufacturer. Please refer to the following link:

Hello Cliff,

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community. We are glad to help you.

To help you suggest more steps to resolve the issue, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

1. Were any significant changes made to your computer prior to this issue?
2. Do you receive any error message when the computer restarts?

I would suggest you to refer to the following methods and follow the given steps in order to troubleshoot the issue:

Method 1:

I would suggest you to disconnect all the external devices plugged in to your computer, and try to check if the problem persists.

Method 2:

I would suggest you to boot your computer using Last Known Good Configuration. You can follow these steps to do so.

1. Restart your computer by clicking the Start, clicking the arrow next to the Shut Down, and then clicking Restart.
2. Press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. (If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by shutting down and restarting your computer.)
3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration (advanced), and then press Enter.

Click the link and follow the steps “Start your computer in safe mode”

If the problem does not exist in safe mode, try to perform a clean boot and check.

Step 2: Perform Clean Boot.

I would suggest you to try performing a Clean Boot on your computer, as putting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

Method 4:

If the computer does not boot in Safe Mode, I would like you to perform a startup repair on your computer. You can refer to the following article in order to perform a startup repair on your computer.
