computer wants to reboot, alot.

I'm trying to fix my friends computer and its going poorly. First off, I can't access the hijackthis web site or the major geeks site, or any site that could be helpful and is known as useful (from his computer). The home page of sporting news, it will go to, and anything I google it finds (including the pages it won't let me visit). I can't install the latest java program (It uninstalls at java live) and I'm trying to do this while its trying to shut down.

I have been watching the task manager after boot and it goes crazy on the services. If I boot in safe mode, it works o.k. other than the fact that I'm in safe mode. In normal mode, it ends up telling me it's going to reboot in 60 seconds with "services status code 1073741819". I had a problem with it looking for "cpmrotata.dll" and I don't know if that was fixed or it just stopped showing up. Any help would be very much appreciated (Oh, geeks please save me), and I hope to hear from you soon.
