Short Answer: Your Vizio TV keeps restarting because there may be a hardware or software issue, there can be issues in receiving the power supply, some external factors like power surge might have stuck Vizio TV in a rebooting loop, or there could be a manufacturing defect.
Unluckily, the issues you are experiencing can be an internal hardware issue, meaning a faulty power supply cord or power outlet or the wallboard, though there are many possible reasons for this to happen.
This issue could be a manufacturing defect but is also often caused by electricity issues such as shock/surge, fluctuations in over/under voltage conditions, etc.
This could also be the result of general wear and tear; even for the fairly newer versions of the TV, this type of failure could be considered common.
One rare thing that can happen is that your TV could be receiving signals externally from a different remote.
To perform a soft reset on your Vizio TV, follow these steps:
Using the remote control, press the menu button.
Navigate to “System” using the arrow keys, and select “Reset & Admin”.
Select “Soft Power Cycle”.
Wait for the TV to turn off and back on again.
4. Check Voltage
A primary reason is that there is a problem with the voltage for your device. This means that the power coming from the power supply is fluctuating. You can test this by inserting a voltmeter into the power outlet.
Take readings and determine the extent of fluctuations. If the fluctuations are a lot, this could be the culprit. Changing the outlet by calling a technician would be a fix here. Alternatively, you can plug in some different functional ports.
You can also install a voltage stabilizer between your power supply and TV to avoid risking power damage.
Exit the menu and plug back in the devices one at a time to see if any of them are causing the issue.
10. Check to see if another remote is powering the TV on
There might be other Vizio TVs in your vicinity. Logically there will be an equal number of more Vizio TV remotes.
Your TV might be catching up with infrared signals from other TV remotes if they are close enough.
This could cause a number of issues including the one you are facing right now.
The best possible solution here would be to keep your TV disconnected from any electrical power source.
11. Reset Your Vizio TV to Factory defaults
Perform the following steps listed below to go back to defaults on your Vizio TV.
Using the VIZIO remote, press the Menu button.
Use the Arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the System and press OK.
Highlight “Reset & Admin” and then press OK.
Highlight “Reset TV to Factory Defaults” and press OK.
If you have not manually reset the parental code, please input (0 0 0 0) when it asks for the password.
Highlight Reset and press OK.
Wait for the TV to turn off.
The TV will turn back on and the Setup App process will begin.

Q1. Why does my Vizio TV keep turning on and off by itself?
A. Your TV could be receiving unnecessary signals from your remote or any other remote in the vicinity. This could be also because of CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), where multiple consumer devices communicate with each other and would be turning on the TV.
It could also be due to predetermined settings by the user or the manufacturer to turn on the TV when receiving external inputs such as screen-casting. It can also be a power supply issue due to fluctuations or a hardware defect. If it’s a serious issue, contact Vizio Support.
