To do this, hold the power button down until the power menu comes up, then hold the power off button and select “OK” when it pops up. If the reboots stop happening after this is done then an app is most likely the problem. You can go through and remove applications until you find the one that is causing the problem, or reset your phone and remove all apps.
If the above steps don’t work then another possibility is that the hardware is faulty in the phone. If this is the case then the most probable course would be to call the store/manufacturer and see if a replacement can be sent.
