usually linux logs a timestamp to the syslog. the line looks like
hostname 20050331 14:50 ----- mark -----

see if this is there, otherwise just look for the last entry in all log files, the last dates of file generation in /tmp and for the future, check if Your system has a watchdog timer that linux supports. (automatic reset on system hang...)

Hi peterchu,

Check /var/log/messages. It have timestamp , user and did something. You should find the last entry's timestamp before entries of restart information.
