unexpected reboot / which files to check

Nothing in /var/crash

This is the last line before reboot:
Apr 27 10:48:39 relay syslogd: exiting on signal 15

This is the first line during system startup:
Apr 27 10:57:40 relay syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel

Which leads me to believe the system was off for a few minutes. It is a 
new machine, currently not too much loaded so it wouldn't take so long 
to start (9 minutes).

Will check with the provider if there was some short power failure or 
something like that.

Thanks!
