Thanks.

I noticed the error message mentioned 'timeout' so I thought I'd let the 
system work it through.
I watched the first half of 'Pearl Harbour' (not recommended) and came 
back to find
the logon screen waiting for me.

It's twice rebooted without problems since then. I put it down to 
software teething problems and the unexpected arrival
of  an upgrade which remembers the settings of the previous user 
session. It threw me for a while, but I'm impressed.
