Why does Windows 7 reboot itself every 2 minutes?
I ran into this issue: I had installed the 320.49-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe NVidia GeForce driver. This forced me to install some type of .NET 4 (extra?) runtime environment. The next time I booted my computer, Windows 7 would automatically reboot itself after about 2-3 minutes. If I were in safe mode, it didn't reboot. This is how I solved it:
You can also try reading the logs in the Event Viewer for some hints.

- Booted Windows 7 in safe mode (press F8 when booting)
- Installed an old NVidia driver, such as 314.07-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe
- Reboot Windows in normal mode
- Now you have to be real quick before your machine reboots: uninstall the .NET 4 runtime environment that had just been installed. The uninstaller will ask you to reboot your machine. Reboot it into normal mode.
- If all goes well, your system will be back to normal!
