Not a clue what caused it, or how to find out. Happened once in the ~2 months I've had this new PC (specs below), nothing shows in WhoCrashed (no dumps), and this is all information in Event Viewer, seems pretty generic/uninformative. No hardware/software changes recently, occured while playing WoW, just a complete computer lock up, no sounds/bsod or anything.

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor
Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Seasonic G series 550w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply
(Forgot the RAM I have atm) (2x4GB)
Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black (CC-9011023-WW)
CoolerCooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
MSI Radeon R9 280X Gaming Edition OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Event Viewer - Application - Error "Source: WMI"

Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

Event Viewer - System - "Critical / Error"

The previous system shutdown at 05:22:14 on ‎09/‎02/‎2014 was unexpected.

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Guess I should just write this off unless it happens again?
 
Chances are it's not configured to save dump file.

Try this:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
4. In the Write debugging information list, click 'Kernal Memory Dump' and then OK

next time this happens, you should be able to read the dump file.
 
Happened again, before when I posted on the 9th around 5am and today on the 16th at 3am with message related to windows activation seems relative?

Event viewer shows these messages;

Windows is in Notification period.
Windows license activation failed. Error 0x80070005.

No idea why this would suddenly be an issue... I activated windows like a month or two ago and the crashes started last week, this is the second one.
 
Did you recently exchanged some important parts?
Like motherboard, ram, cpu etc?
I had to reactivate my Windows 7 after I changed motherboard, however system was displaying me the information on every login that It detected changes to my hardware and that I should reactivate my OS.
 
Nope, not changed anything as of the install. So been fine for around 6 weeks then suddenly this activation crash as of two weeks ago, yet I only see this via Event Viewer after rebooting following the crash -- it's not like my desktop or control panel tells me windows isn't activated
 
So...

I've now noticed that the windows error shown in event viewer is not causing the crash; that just shows up whenever I boot, so that's not the issue...

Kind of puts it on hardware, but with the crashes being so sporadic and not giving any indication to what the problem could be (no blue screens, no restarts, no errors of any description, no beeps, no hardware hangs) what do I do oO
