I agree that it it is probably hardware but a quick test would be to try
booting from a CD.

Not even sure if OSx has an extension control panel but if it did I'd start it
up with extensions OFF to see if that stops the rebooting.    Then try to
isolate the ext. thats causing the problem.

I do know that incompatable extensions will cause the immediate reboot
problem.   Most notably the Screen Posters init with OS 9 and some Performas..
