I'd see what the error is. I'd remove all perhipherals and see if it still 
reboots, I'd disable sata/usb in bios and see if it still reboots and if 
even that doesn't work I'd do an in place upgrade using the original media

You can get out of the chkdsk by pressing esc, if it's rebooting before 
the chkdsk is happening, safe mode may work, if not, an in place upgrade, 
again
