Tried to find the last reboot which *I think* was between 09 & 09:30am.  

All I could find in the system log was that it rebooted shortly after 9:00 am 
with no specified reason.  The other logs didn’t tell me anything that I could 
understand but it may be that I have the time wrong and am therefore looking in 
the wrong place.

I’m wondering if the best thing is to reinstall the system although that may 
leave something in place that really shouldn't be there, but until I can narrow 
the time down more accurately it’s a bit like looking for a needle in a 
haystack.
