If installing Windows for first time. Windows will restart automatically during the install process. If the install process never actually begins then you may have a compatibility issue or a hardware problem.
Do you have the boot order for dvd first.
If a cd-rom or a raw disk is first in boot order the system might reboot automatically. It will not read a DVD from the CD drive and cannot boot from raw disk.
Is your computer processor capable of 64 bit OS. Check motherboard manual to verify all settings are correct in bios. This could cause a repeated reboot.
You have two options to remedy the problem. You really need to access the computer in Safe Mode and view the System Logs to determine the offending piece of hardware or software or virus. But your real question is how to stop the reboot. Use the F8 Key during boot. Right after you turn the computer on, start hitting the F8 Key. The Windows Boot MEnu will appear. at this point you can do one of two things to try to fix the problem. You can enter the computer in Safe Mode which load Windows with only the minimal necessary hardware and software drivers.If you want to see the error message, choose option 8 which tells the computer not to automatically restart after an error. This will enable you to determine the error message on the screen and prevent the system from just going through an endless loop of starting, erroring-out and restarting..
F8 (during boot) Holding F8 when booting displays the Windows Boot Menu
SHIFT (during boot) Holding SHIFT down when booting forces Windows into Safe Mode

Have you already installed win 7 64 bit or are you attempting to install it....my solution is based on an assumption that you are attempting to install windows on a system with a MSI motherboard.....
