Random Reboot of Alma Linux 9

I have been experiencing random reboots of my system. Checked the core temps and fans. They were all well within normal limits. Thinking there might be a problem with the system itself, I bought a new system and placed my drive in it. That was yesterday. This morning I had another random boot.

Checking messages to determine the cause I ran across a time change, from 8:00 am to 3:00 am. The 3:00 am saying the system was rebooting. Once rebooted the time reverted back to the current time???

I discovered the problem. The GUI used was Standard X11 and other times it was Gnome Classic. A week ago I reverted to Wayland and have not had any reboots.
