It should be noted that there is a big difference between poweroff and reboot. If the device reboots, it is very likely a software error; usually triggered by memory leaks or system essential software dying. Shutdowns on the other hand are usually caused by an empty (or near-empty) battery, or hardware errors (empty battery should cause a clean shutdown, hardware errors a non-clean shutdown). So, when reporting this kind of problems, please *clearly* state whether you're having problems with the device powering off or with reboots. They are generally two completely disjoint sets of problems.
