Pete, if you go to control panel, find administrative tools and start the event viewer. Look for system events in the windows logs and see if you can find the crash. It will most likely have a red icon next to it. It should give you the hexidecimal error number for the crash which you can google, windows error 0x0004ef..... That might give you a clue.

The blue screen itself often tells you what is wrong in english but most machines are set to auto reboot after a crash so you miss it.
