About this task
Windows event logs can also provide useful information.

mysterious errors related to system resources, it is worthwhile obtaining all three types of event

- Application
- Security

The method
used to open the viewer will differ, depending on the Windows operating system you are using.
For example, to open the Event Viewer on Windows 7, click . Select System and Maintenance, and then select Administrative Tools. Double-click Event Viewer.
