Why the reboot time is always Thu Jan 1 08:00?
Also, how to point why it rebooted, overheated or power outage?
last -Fit will give you full date and time; you will see that boot always happens on Jan 1st, 1970. Raspberry Pi by default has no realtime clock, so when booting time is always reset to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. When booting, it gets the actual time and date via NTP, and from that on it will be correct. If you want correct boot time, you need to add an RTC module. And you may look for messages before reboot in /var/log/syslog to find the reason. – ridgy Feb 27 '17 at 10:29
