Assuming you mean the Event Log and such like, go into the computer's
management console (Right click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage").
The it's System Tools > Event Viewer

No, isn't there a log file that windows creates when it's starting, so i can find where the system is halting...

There is, but you need to tell Windows to log the boot sequence. Details at:

Howdie,

I think you mean the manual option with ntbtlog.txt. When Windows starts you
have to press F8 and then start Windows manual with the boot-log option.

Or to set it up on every boot up:
