How do I trace the boot process and error logs?

Whenever I first start my laptop the grub menu comes up and the timer countdown will choose the first entry which is Kubuntu 13.04. It will attempt to boot but eventually get rebooted and come back to the grub menu. I never see the login screen. This time the same menu choice will be highlighted but there will be no countdown.

When I hit enter and choose the same 1st entry that it had previously done, it boots to the login screen and everything works fine from there. Reboots will then work normally too.

Any ideas on what could cause it to get rebooted on first boot or how to trace it?
