Assuming the Service is on,  which it is by default,  it depends on the problem.  You may see that it's split into categories: os,  software ,  hardware,  etc. Pick the relevant category and look for anything with a RED icon beside it.  Those are usually the culprits. Clicking those will give you some details on  the problem.  It mostly gives wacky errors codes and tells you what comes went sideways,  but it's a place to start.
If it's bsods you're looking to suss out,  i'd  suggest you try out Bluescreenviewer.  It gives the same info,  but makes it much easier to find. It can sort bsods date,  so the latest ones are at the top

I was reading a bit about said item, and the topic discussion was about how I could "Fix" some "Issues" that I have been having with either win 7 having some stability issues, or any type of browser I'm using. I just wanted to talk to someone with MUCH more knowledge about Event Viewer than just in myself half cocked knowing that I have no idea what I'm doing.......
