I scaneed the computer and and got a spybot virus, went through symantec's steps and everything they said should be there wasn't. So I went ahead did a full format then started the recovery disk process, during that process the rebooting continued. Could this actually be an issue with the RAM? Or what could it be?

Ram is certainly a possibility.

Ram or PSU. Re-seat everything in the case and try that. Ram,Graphics card and CPU. Also check all cables.
