1. Event ID 41 (Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power): The system reboots without cleanly shutting down first, indicating potential system crashes or power failures.
   
2. Event ID 161 (volmgr): Dump file creation fails due to errors during dump creation, hindering troubleshooting efforts.
   
3. Event ID 6008 (EventLog): Confirms the unexpected nature of previous system shutdowns.
