Computer reboots itself after login - Ubuntu 16.04

I have a really weird problem: I have an Ubuntu 16.04.5 Desktop with two users, one regular and one with sudo privileges.

After I turn on the PC, it boots to the LightDM Login. If I log in to the Sudo user - all is well, but when I try to log in to the regular user (UID 1001) - the computer reboots right before showing the Desktop...

I verified the user is not locked (passwd -u) and I also tried deleting the ~/.Xauthority file - all it did is show me the Desktop for a split second and then it reboots...

This is a really annoying problem because I need to start working on a project in a week with this user's files.
