I have two programs that are SUPPOSED to interact with each other.
They are Amateur Radio programs.
Once controls the radio parameters and the other logs the activities.

I keep getting crashes, I can't find any activities that cause it or can I
find a way to stop it.

The lockups or complete shutdown/reboot are random time spans.

I do NOT get any error messages.

So is there a way that I can get the technical details of what happened so
that I can track down the cause?

Something like the old Dr. Watson???

Please and thank you.

Hi,

Start/run eventvwr.msc and check the system and application logs.
