There are two conflicting bits of information here:
1) "it causes the computer to reboot."
2) "before it sends me back to the login screen"
So are you just getting sent back to the login screen after a second or
two of a blank screen or is your system actually reseting and going
through the boot sequence exactly the same as when you power on (i.e.
POST -> grub -> boot splash)?
They are two very different senarios, 1) describes a system crash, where
as 2) describes a X server crashing and restarting.
If you could confirm which it is, it'll make it easier for someone to
suggest what to try next.
