Hello Araceliariana,

If you are able to boot up to the desktop or even to the log in screen then there can be a possibility of any existing virus in your system. On the other hand, if the computer restarts again and again during the booting stages then it is the fault of your system’s hardware. Try, booting in the safe mode or debugging mode if the problem is solved then you need to restore your MAC OS.
