The canonical first place to check is your logs, many of which are in
/var/log/ .  Beyond that, information about running apps at the time you
leave it before it crashes would be helpful, and you might try not
logging in to see if the problem occurs with no user activity (if not,
it points to an app that starts when you log in).
