Windows 2008 Server R2 turns itself off

Solution 1:

Usually this is due to automatic updates. Both the 109 and 13 Event IDs can indicate a reboot. Look for update messages in the event log from WindowsUpdateClient, for example:

Also, if someone pressed the power button that can initiate a graceful shutdown with many systems.

Probably not the answer but a contribution. Found the same error in a couple of virtual servers, after an uptime alarm, and could see all services being stopped nicely and found that 109 was an entry after a planned reboot from Citrix service event ID 1074

Have you considered the possibility of someone simply hitting the power button ? That will cause exactly the behavior you described.
