Thank you for in advance for helping me with my issue. When I try to switch my lights to white it turns the controller off, on, then off. All other colors work fine.

My first intsinct says you may have a basic power issue (your supply isn’t good enough to drive the LEDs and the ESP)

A simple test - set your LED brightness to a small value (20% or less) and try colours vs White again. If the reset problem disappears, you have a power problem. Recheck your power wiring and/or start measuring the voltage on your strip and your power supply as you raise the brightness on a white display.

use s fast and small condensator as near as you can get it to the controller  
TANTAL 10uF is my personal faforit on this to get the controller stable on white shifting

Thanks for the advice. The problem was a bad power block. Replaced it and everything work fine
