Answer 1

There are a lot of possibilities. From what you describe it sounds like it's failing to boot into windows, perhaps simply restarting again and again.

I'd suspect something like a faulty master boot record or disk.

There are solutions (if this is actually the problem), but it's a fix that would take a while to explain, and might not achieve anything.

Try resetting your BIOS settings to default as well. If you have a low CMOS battery they may have been lost.
