I understand your Mac starts up, but after you log in it spontaneously restarts on its own.


Try this: upon entering your login password, press and hold a Shift key while you click the Log In button. Release the Shift key when the Desktop appears (assuming it does).


That action prevents Login Items from loading when you log in for that session. Perhaps one or more of them is causing your Mac to shut down.
