Right Click My Computer - choose Manage - this will open the Management Console

In the Left Pane open System Tools and then Open Event Viewer

Then click on Applications - look in the Right pane - scroll to the relevant date and time - this might give you some idea of what's been 'going on'

If you find anything which is useful - stretch the window right over to the right and make a note of the Event ID number and also the Source

Double click on the entry and a box will open that will give you more info

If you find anything 'useful' then go here: www.eventid.net and run Search for the Event iD number

Something else that might be useful

Help and Support - Under 'Pick a Task' - Use Tools..... then Advanced System Information - View the Error log
