Recently my laptop has been crashing fully for reasons that I'm not sure of. For example, just this morning while playing a Phantom game, and making my 5th defiler my screen went pitch black and the sound kept repeating from its last millisecond interval. I had to unplug my laptop from the power source and take out its battery to shut it down--the laptop wouldnt respond to ANYTHING. This is why I've quit gunbound a few years back; my laptop crashes in the middle of about every two games. I know Macs have a kernel crash log located in a directory somewhere, but are there similar logs in Windows XP? I want to track down the source of this problem, and hopefully fix it.

It may be a hardware or heat issue, in which case logs would do you no good. You can see the Windows logs by opening the Event Viewer, located in Administrative Tools, which is located in the Control Panel.
