Do you have an UPS connected to the server?

Well you could try this, I used to do it until i got room alert device.
download bmail and robocopy (AKA Robust copy)
create a new folder in C: called C:\ping in that create a folder called C:\ping\pool
create a new .bat file and call it start.bat ( C:\ping\start.bat )
then copy bmail.exe and robustcopy.exe into C:\ping or C:\windows
then paste the below into that file, update the IP's to the servers you wish to ping, and also add a from Email address and the address where you want the ping fail to go.
Put it in your task scheduler and set the schedule to repeat its self.
(If a server shuts down and it cant ping it IT WILL FLOOD YOUR MAILBOX
)

Code:
CD C:\ping
echo 'Ping SQL Server
ping 10.0.0.1>C:\Ping\10.0.0.1.txt
robocopy C:\ping\ C:\ping\pool\ /MAX:290
bmail -s smtp.gmail.com -t [email protected] -f [email protected] -h -a "Ping Fail" -m C:\ping\pool\10.0.0.1.txt
del C:\ping\pool\10.0.0.1.txt /q
echo 'Ping Exchange Server
ping 10.0.0.2>C:\Ping\10.0.0.2.txt
robocopy C:\ping\ C:\ping\pool\ /MAX:290
bmail -s smtp.gmail.com -t [email protected] -f [email protected] -h -a "Ping Fail" -m C:\ping\pool\10.0.0.2.txt
del C:\ping\pool\10.0.0.2.txt /q

Hi There,
I would prefer the UPS route and many of them do have the capability to cater for the poser outage. They generally don't though detect that a PC has re-booted. SBSP has a good solution for you which would work with multiple servers.
You may also want to conseder a product like event sentry which monitors a lot more than just restarts. You can see details here

Tim

Not exactly my area of expertise, but I was under the impression that most people go with:

Might be a bit of an overkill though.

Yo can also try "The Dude" from www.mikrotik.com
A free monitoring/logging utility that can monitor about any piece of equipment on the network, and you have plenty notification options, ie mail notification when something goes down etc...
