On Windows, crash logs are created by Dr.Watson.

To configure it, go to Start > Run, enter drwtsn32 and hit the Run button.

I usually have the following options turned on:

- Dump All Thread Contexts
- Append To Existing Log File
- Visual Notification

On a server though, you would not want to turn on the last item 
because it will create an annoying dialog box telling you that 
Frontier has crashed.

The Log File Path let's you specify the directory were the 
drwtsn32.log text file will be maintained. I think the default is 
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\DrWatson\. If you look 
at the drwtsn32.log file now, you should at least be able to tell 
when Frontier crashed last night. (Start at the bottom of the file 
and scroll up.)
