do you have the computer set to hit contrl/alt/del to log in?? If you do try holding down the shift key when you boot-up . sometimes that will end that reboot loop which some machines can get stuck in

-Check power management in BIOS to be enabled which allow computer to do power off. This work if also in registry is set:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\PowerDownAfterShutdown "0"

-If computer can't dopower off you cat set this key to "1" and don't will reboot.
