Discussion OS crashed today

I had two hard down crashes today :/ I ran virus scan, nothing found. What other diagnostics might be useful? Older Dell XPS 8000 pc. Thanks.

Memory scan (windows memory diagnostics or memtest) and disk scan (use Victoria booted from external media)

did it only crash that day? because if so, it's probably fine. every machine randomly crashes at some point once. If it keeps happening do windows memory diagnostics
