If your Windows computer is crashing, you can follow these steps to diagnose and fix the issue:
1. **Restart Your Computer**: Sometimes, a temporary issue can be resolved with a simple restart.
2. **Check for Windows Updates**: Ensure your operating system is up to date as updates often include bug fixes.
3. **Review Recent Changes**: Consider any recent software or hardware changes that might have triggered the crashes.
4. **Check for Overheating**: Overheating can cause crashes. Ensure your PC isn't overheating, and clean dust from the internal components if necessary.
5. **Scan for Malware**: Use Windows Defender or a reputable antivirus program to scan for and remove malware.
6. **Review Event Viewer**: Open the Event Viewer and check for error messages or warnings that might provide clues about the crashes.
7. **Update Drivers**: Outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to crashes. Update them from the manufacturer's website.
8. **Test RAM**: Run a memory diagnostic tool to check for RAM issues. You can access this tool via the Windows Memory Diagnostic.
9. **Check for Disk Errors**: Use the Check Disk utility to scan and fix disk errors. Open a Command Prompt as administrator and run "chkdsk /f"
