I've found that you can use a combination of systeminfo and task manager to see what the last boot was and how long it has been used since then...
Not ideal I know, but better than nothing!

Eventviewer (run>eventvwr)
Right click on system log and select "filter current log"
Search for these event IDs:
12 - when windows started.
13 - when windows shut down.
If you filter by those you'll see when it was on and off, you can also use Eventviewer to include only certain dates etc. Should be able to export to a CSV file and use it in Excel for a report if you have to.

you could see when it was on/off by looking at the even viewer logs
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\even viewer
will be full of spam windows services starting up etc
gives dates and times in an easy to view column so if your just wanting to check if someone used your computer at a specific date without your knowledge it should be pretty easy to work out

I'm sure there's some software to do this with nice fancy graphs (though you can export these into Excel I'm sure).. however try this:
If you want you can save this off as a custom view so you can get back to it by selecting 'Save Filter to Custom View' on the right hand edge too.
109 is a shutdown event and 6009 is a startup event triggered by the system so you can piggy back onto them to track your uptimes.

. Use the event ids from Halfmad, I couldn't find them when I looked but see them now and they're better than the ones I used above.
- Open up the Event Viewer (start > event viewer).
- Expand Windows Logs on the left and then go to System.
- Click on 'Filter Current Log' on the right hand side.
- Select event sources of eventlog, Eventlog, Kernel-Power (I had two EventLogs so selected them both just in case).
- Enter 109,6009 into the Event IDs box. Click OK
