562468 2007-06-24 20:46:00 Where do I find the error output file, (a txt I think) that shows me how and why the computer crashed last.

I never turn the computer off (much) and its now failing to come back in the morning.
I do not use the hibanation, I simply turn off the screen and let the HDD power down.
When I try to turn the screen back on in the morning the power light flashes but it will not restart I am not sure if this is a computer crash so the monitor has nothing to display or if its a monitor problem.

Any ideas?

But then if it didnt BSOD or crash, there may not be anything there.

If its not a crash would the next likely cause be video card or monitor?

562471 2007-06-25 06:37:00 OK I took a look speedy and there was no crash.
