Our organization was robbed and definitely it was inside job. I was set up. I work as a manager and as system administrator in this organization and everything goes against me. The only clue I have is that someone accidentally or intentionally turned of a server that is in the office indicating that some one was inside at the time that no one should be.

This is the only evidence I have that can justify me.  I looked the log files and they show that the Power button was pressed.

Can you help me to find out that that was not a bug or systems overheat?

I will post the log files and if you will ask more I will gladly provide the information.
