Basically the title.. I updated to 6.0 and ever since, my phone restarts by itself. Can an app thats not completely compatible with MM cause my phone to restart? I dont have more than a couple unpopular apps.. The strangest apps I have are my credit card and TD Bank app. Any ideas?

"Rogue" usually refers to an app that is remaining active in the background when it should be paused or closed (thereby using excessive battery). In your situation, any 3rd party app could certainly contribute to random reboots, if there's some sort of conflict between the app and the new system update. But it might also be related to leftover cached system data from the previous OS version--try wiping the system cache partition: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=turbo 2 clear cache
