Thats a very good motherboard but if youre going with MSI I suggest you reconsider. Dont get me wrong, that motherboard is very solid, pretty much like mine, but it lacks some of the newer features.
Some features that the gaming 5 has over the G45
Support for higher clock speed ram - 200mhz actually if Im not mistaking, going of my mind
Support for M.2 drives - very expensive at the moment but they are really good
More phases
Better for overclocking
Support for SLI
Other thing is, if you live close to a Microcenter, you can get the CPU/Mobo combo and you will receive a huge discount. I did this and the Motherboard was $100
About your Logs:
C:\Windows\Logs this folder has just that logs
C:\Windows\Minidumb this one has a lot of dmp files created every time you get a BSOD, RSOD or GSOD. You can use http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html to open the files and see what triggered the crash.
We might have to make a thread just for windows troubleshooting lol
