It's always a good idea to monitor your system to see if your activities have added to its stability or, more likely, degraded it.
The Reliability Monitor displays a helpful graph that shows system stability over time, so you can see how each action has affected your computer. Now choose 'Reliability Monitor' in the left-hand pane. Below the graph is a system stability report that lists each of the most recent events and failures for you.
Event Viewer helps you identify any processes that may be failing and introducing delays into the system. To access it, click 'Start', then right-click 'Computer' and choose 'Manage', then opt to continue. This launches the Computer Management console. Now select 'Event Viewer', followed by 'Windows Logs'. Select one of these logs to see each recorded event. These events are provided in order, with the most recent one appearing first. Any errors are flagged for your attention with an icon showing a white cross on a red background, while warnings are illustrated with a yellow icon.
Right-click an event and choose 'Event Properties'. The resulting dialog presents details of the event, including a brief description of what happened, plus a link to further information if any is available.
