Is the comps restarting at boot up or are they restarting after windows has actually started?
You might need to check see if the 3 pcs are single core or if they are dual core. If they are dual core you might need to change it to single core (in cmos) until after you have installed the OS.

Connect the pc internal speaker. See if there is a beep code, if there is no beep code then the MB should be good. Also you might need to manually finish Windows setup as I have had times when i tried to let it auto it kept wanting to always reboot as it tried to boot off the hard drive.

that kind of business is good because now a days many teenagers and even adults become addicted in both social networking and playing online games in computer,i think there is something wrong with the hard disk,or in video card and memory card that's why your computer keeps on restarting.
