Follow these steps to boot your device into safe mode:
- Turn the device off
- Press and hold the power key until the Samsung logo is visible on the screen

- If the steps were followed correctly, you should be able to see a safe mode tag on the bottom left corner of the screen.
Use your device as usual and pay attention to the smartphone. If the issue has disappeared, it is likely that faulty third-party apps cause the troubles.
Removing faulty apps
If the random reboots stopped while your device is in safe mode, you might want to remove some apps. After uninstalling the app which appeared to be troublesome the issue should be fixed. If the reboot problems persist, try to uninstall other apps.
