Why did it crash initially?
Did you look through the event log and troubleshoot that first?

Have you backed up your important data for safety?
Have you looked through your startup applications?
Checked for latest drivers and BIOS updates?
Contacted the system manufacturer?
Checked for and eliminated spyware/adware?
Checked for and eliminated viruses and such?
Ran hardware checks on your memory and hard disk drive(s)?
Ran CHKDSK on your hard disk drive(s)?
Defragmented your hard disk drive(s)?
