Our tech team, at the moment, found that replacing the device charging board will solve the issue.
Here are some charging board replacements from Aliexpress:

A little bit annoying, but not so hard or costly to do it by yourself, if approaching it as an alternative to contact your seller for a whole device replacement under warranty (wich i suggest you, globally, to do).
So the sudden reboot is definitely an hardware fault guys.
Better an hard truth than an easy lie.

I bought this phone brand new only a week ago and it's been restarting 2-3 times a day.
I'd rather replace the faulty board myself than go through the hassle of sending it back to the seller, however would it be possible to get a tutorial of how to replace it? I don't want to risk damaging the phone.

Wait for more informations about this problem. A tutorial on replacing it might be considered, but remember that replacing it by yourself could void your seller's warrany.

I suggest you think more carefully. If Blackview is seriously recommending all 100,000 Blackview phones be replaced under warranty, it will go bankrupt like the makers of the airbags. No reseller will touch a Blackview device ever again.
The alternative is finding out which software glitch is causing this and fixing that.
Worst case scenario, phones keep rebooting. So do Windows computers. The problem is not really the reboot but the disruption the silly boot up jingle causes. So write a firmware update that gets the phone to play a silent audio file on restart, and the problem is solved.
You haven't solved it yet, not even close.

If this is an hardware fault, no software fix can help. This is the definition of an hardware fault, sir. This is what our tech team found.
This hardware fault is annoyng, but it doesn't plague ALL the BV8000s. It plagues a minor part of them.
Silcencing the jingle will be, in my opionion, a silly fix: if we silence the jingle , you won't neither know if your device has rebooted. Wich it means that, if you have a pin to be confirmed, your device will remain INACTIVE and you won't be aware of that.

I am not convinced it is a hardware fault, and you have not explained why any of the replacement boards would not have same fault. As for PIN, users can choose to deactivate startup PIN if they have to.
When you can provide hard evidence that it is a hardware fault, we will all be clapping. But the reboots began after one of the recent updates...
