Run console project in c++

It sounds to me as though you've either got a virus on your system, which is preventing cmd.exe from running, or there's a problem with the file itself or some related system file(s) which is causing the machine to reboot when you attempt to run it.

If you're using Windows XP, there's a tool called System File Checker (sfc.exe) which can check your system files and, if they're corrupt, replace them automatically. If a thorough virus scan doesn't reveal any problems, then I'd try running this tool from the Run Dialog (it takes several minutes to run). See this link for further details:
