#Review the Windows System Logs

This can be done by a Start Menu search for Computer Management. Within the Computer Management window, expand System Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System then scroll through until you find an Error event - this should be a red (!). Review these Error events which will provide reasons as to why the system crashed.

A recent example is one of my PCs was crashing and the logs indicated that firmware changes had occurred while in transition between sleep states. The device continued to crash and cause HDD issues. A checkdisk was completed with a reboot and all working fine now :).
