Even a bad video driver crashing and burning will not take down a

Windows has some video failures covered now by a
watchdog, and "VPU recover". If you see the screen
blink to black for half a second, go check the
Event Viewer, and you may find you've just had
a video issue.

How do you find it in Events...not so simple as:

zgrep -i "error|fail" /var/log/syslog*| grep SomeService

True, that doesn't work, but it's equally simple. Use the "Filter
Current Log..." Action item on the right side of the Event Viewer window
after navigating to the proper section on the left, probably Windows
Logs - System (or Application).
