Help HELP PLEASE: Samsung Tab Restarts every 15-30 minutes

Help please! My Samsung Tablet restarts every 15 - 30 minutes. I have not made any update or installed a new APP recently. There is no error received except for the fact that when I am using it, it restarts automatically. I tried rebooting the system and uninstalled APPS but to no avail.. Help please!!:(:(:(
 
I have had this tab more than a year. It can be fussy like that. It can be caused by an app. One factor may be the wifi sleep policy setting. For me, if I set the sleep policy to automatically turn off when sleeping, I experience a lot of random reboots. So I found that if I set the wifi sleep policy to always be on, there are less reboots. If you want to save battery you can just turn off wifi manually. Hope this helps.

I have got Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and my tab is restarting again and again whenever i try to open any app or change settings. I have tried to factory reset it through all methods but unable to do it. I cannot install or delete anything on it. Kindly help me what I should do now. As you have faced the same problem please post what was the outcome of it all.

I have an 6200L(latin american version) I had all those problems. I upgrade it to ICS using Odin and then via OTA to jelly bean. It work fine now.
after two years and a couple of falls down to ground i had problems connectin to wifi and to switch from 3g a wifi and vice versa. I was the wifi radio. I opened it and reheat wuita a welder blower ir. It is under a shield that is easy to remove with a litle screwdriver flat.
The problem is solved too.

Samsung software upgrade webpage contains the proper firmware. Choose the one for your region, otherwise it is not to work. I can tell you, i did it.

Good luck!

I have a tab 7 that reboots spontaneously. It does not seem to reboot when its plugged in or during the first half hour or so of unplugging after a full charge. This is of couse after reformatting the SD and factory reset. The battery will still show 70% and the tablet will begin resetting itself spontaneously. Its a tad frustrating. I wonder if I should root and load a different version or check into Samsung replacing the battery. Any suggestions?

Is your tab the 7.0 plus or some other version? And which OS are you on? When I was on honeycomb, I found that setting my wifi never to sleep helped reduce but not eliminate the random reboots. Recently I updated to jellybean 4.1.2 and I no longer get the random reboots at all.
