had two similar problem's
#1, client computer, 4:59pm every weekday, rebooted.
Seems luser plugged their POSTAGE METER into same UPS as the computer
4:59pm, luser gets up and 'stamps' today's outgoing email!
  (massive surge, big magnets, negative neutrinos flying around)

#2, 8:15am (and then 9:15am after DST change)
  lights in building turned on.
   T1 line from TELCO was shorted to house ground.
   House wiring was NOT grounded, so house wiring found ground through T1!

(then again, check your cron also . turn on dumpdev.
