Check the settings on the client computer in Control Panel - System -
Advanced - Startup and Recovery Settings. If the "automatically
restart" checkbox is selected for system failures then click on it to
unselect it. Click on Apply and OK as needed to exit.

That should end the reboots and probably produce a Blue Screen Of
Death STOP error message which will indicate the underlying cause of
the problem.

Good luck
