SQL Server Restart Date and Time

Problem:
I received a request from one of the developer saying that, the Staging DB was down yesterday evening, between 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Due to this, he was not able to meet his deadline.
Solution:
Since it was staging server, we do not configure automate mail alert for service restart.
So, to answer such question, I have checked below things.
1.      Last SQL Server instance restart.
2.      Last DB server (windows services) restart.


HOW TO CHECK ?


 SQL Server Restart:

We can check it easily and by the Easiest ways (SQL Query)
SELECT sqlserver_start_time FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info
SELECT 'Statistics since: ' + CAST(sqlserver_start_time AS VARCHAR) FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info


OR
EXEC SP_HELPDB 'Tempdb'
