Windows 10: Windows Reliability Monitor - How to Use

So my PC has been crashing every so often lately, some due to java, others due to BSOD. I recently learned of the Windows Reliability Monitor, which shows all critical events and what caused them.


WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS


How do I take the info the Monitor provides and act upon it to fix the issue?

Do I really need to post a log here or on some other tech site just to figure out what causes all of my crashes?

  Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
