someone has switched my computer on - not necessarily written
anything, but just had a look around? I assume there must be some log
file somewhere that records when a computer has been switched on

Programs; Administrative Tools; Event Viewer.
If you have trouble spotting it, note the time and then do a REstart:
Look at Event Viewer for the first event at that time; that's the bootup.
