iPhone 6 restarts randomly only when in iOS

I have an iPhone 6 that i got from my brother when he upgraded to a new phone. It would randomly Restart so i thought it might be a bad battery. Replaced it, still restarts. Updated iOS, still did it. Factory Reset, still does it. Now to the title, what i mean by it is, when it's in iOS it will restart every like 3-4 minutes but if its installing updates, restoring, in recovery mode, etc. it's fine. Everything is pointing me to a software problem but is there something i could be missing? It was dropped in water prior to me getting it for like a second but there are no signs of water damage to the Logic Board. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advanced.

When you Factory Reset your device by erasing its contents, did you set it up as a new device, or restore it from a backup? If you restored it from a backup, then if the backup is corrupted, you just re-applied the problem to the device. So, if that is what you did, erase it again, and set it up from scratch - not from a backup.
