died Windows died HELP!!

[aRealCyborg]

So a few days ago my Windows 10 o my pc woulden't work and died. I had to reinstall it, I did so on a different petition on the hard drive so i wouldn't lose my data and i would like to find some logs of why it died, if there are any. i will post a screen shot of what the main folders look like on the petition. also this is what i did before it died i pressed on the windows start corner thing press the shut off button then when to my grandmas house and here i am. any help would be helpful to finding out why windows stopped working and how to fix it.

petition

You mean partition. A petition is a "request to do something, most commonly addressed to a government official or public entity. Petitions to a deity are a form of prayer called supplication. In the colloquial sense, a petition is a document addressed to some official and signed by numerous individuals."

Event logs in Windows are at

 

C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs

Edit. Since you installed Windows on a new partition, the logs for the old WIndows install will be on your D:\ drive.

 

So the path will be:

D:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs

Does it really matter now that you have a working and new install of Windows (and that you have all your files backed up)?

 

Unfortunately I don't have the experience or knowledge diagnose a problem just based on Windows logs. Maybe someone else here does but I know that you can open the .evtx files in Event Viewer. It might take you a while, but you should be able to get through all the logs.
