Is this a VM? Physical Host? How far in the boot process does it get before it resets?  Have you had a chance to look at logs (assuming it stays booted for a little while)?

With all Windows systems you should be able to hit F8 before startup to dictate startup behaviour - such as boot to safe mode, safe mode with networking, and importantly, stop rebooting if stop error encountered.

Also, is it actually restarting (performing a full shutdown before starting back up again) or resetting?

Will ask those things to technicians in place.
What s the difference between a full shutdown and restart or just resetting? how to detect that?

... of course since this happens only infrequently, it'll be some time before it's clear what the situation might be.
