Under each OS microsoft has an entry in the System event viewer. Example from my XP machine:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: EventLog
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6009
Date: 06/6/2010
Time: 04:59:04 AM
User: N/A
Computer: (your_machine's_Name)
Description:
Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 5.01. 2600 Service Pack 3 Multiprocessor Free.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
And that is how you will know if the system was restarted normally ... there are similar notices for having started after unknown shutdown, etc.... By digging through the logs by time, you may be able to determin who was logged in at the time, or you may just see unintelligible administrivia
Do the test yourself, Start-> Shutdown-> Reboot ... then look at the event viewer for that time spot.. and you'll see something similar for yours to indicate that the system is starting...

event viewer,
- Choose Start > Control Panel.
- Click System and Maintenance, and then, in the Administrative Tools section, click View Event Logs.
- Double-click Windows Logs in the Event Viewer (Local) pane.
