Tasker Infinite Reboots

I have been having an issue with the MK802's where they sporadically freeze.  It doesn't happen often, and it usually happens when the device has been sitting idle for a few hours.  The 3rd generation MK802 supports a software reboot and shutdown.  Since it comes pre-rooted, I was able to use Tasker to tell the device to reboot.  I made the mistake of creating a Time-based profile that had no end time.  I tried to tell the device to reboot at 2am every morning.  Instead, the device would reboot when inside of the profile time....which is any time after 2am.  So, the device reboots.  After it boots up, Tasker starts up, decides that the nightly reboot profile should be active, and it reboots again.  I tried to use Advanced Task Killer to kill Tasker before the profile got enabled.  I could never get that to work.  I had to plug in a usb mouse.  I was able to use the mouse to open up the Play Store to uninstall Tasker before the reboot profile turned on.  I reinstalled Tasker and created a profile that ended at 2:05am.  Also, I put in a one minute Wait task before the reboot just in case I messed something else up.
