Any time a system error occurs or an application crashes (whether MS or not), Windows will generate this pop-up. If you choose 'send', it will send a technical error report to Microsoft which they say will assist them in improving their software and will contain no information identifying you personally. It's up to you... 
If your computer is crashing regularly, you should
(a) check your hard drive for errors (right-click on C:, choose Properties/Tools/Error-checking and follow the instructions. Tick the boxes to 'automatically fix file system errors' and 'scan for and attempt recoveryy of bad sectors). This will require you to reboot so that the disk-checking can run before Windows starts up, and it may take 30 mins/1 hour, depending on your PC.
(b) explore the possibility that you have a 'trojan horse' infection or some other virus. See the links provided in this Key Post.
