[QUOTE="Peakoverload, post: 1763145, member: 27271"] This has happened a couple of times in the past, within the past 18 months, but has now happened today twice. Unfortunately I've never been in the room when it has happened so I don't know what is happening. I tend to leave my iMac on all the time and it's not set to sleep, just to turn the display off after 1hr. This morning I went to use it and found that it was on the login screen despite the fact that I never log out and had used it last night before going to bed and had left it on the desktop. When I logged in all the programs that I had left running last night re-launched. After using the computer I left it on with a couple of programs running and left the room. A few minutes ago I heard it restart again and sure enough it was back at the login screen and when I logged back in the programs I had left running where launched again. Whenever this happens I never get the usual "Your computer restarted because of a problem" error message, there are no messages at all. Where on a Mac is the system log so I can see if anything caused the reboots? Has anyone experienced this, know what the cause might be? [/QUOTE]
