Without your asking it to? If so, that is usually a hardware fault.
If you are asking it to reboot, why are you asking it to reboot so often as
to make logging in so burdensome?

I do not know, but I sure hope not. That would be a serious security flaw.
As which user do you want to log in? How would the system know that?

I suppose you could have it start up in run state 1 (single-user mode), but
you probably will not like it.
