There were a couple of things in the logs, including
anomalous shutdowns. I have absolutely no idea what is
relevant and what is not, so I copied everything
below.

I also found in the EventLogs, under System, an error
saying RCManClient couldn't start because of an
invalid path. Again, I have no idea if it is relevant.

In any case, I copied the logs written since we
rebooted (around 14:05) below.

Thank you for your help, and let me know what info I
can send you to help find the problem...
