Win11 freezes after a notification sound and automatically restarts
While the computer is in normal use, it suddenly emits a USB connection alert sound, followed by a temporary system freeze. Page switching functions normally, but all clicks within the page are unresponsive. After a brief freeze, the system automatically shuts down and restarts. This issue can now be consistently reproduced.

Search for "Reliability History". This provides a user-friendly timeline of crashes and errors. Look for critical events around the times your PC crashed. It might name an application or driver.
For more detail, open "Event Viewer". Go to Windows Logs > System. Look for Error or Critical events marked at the exact time of the crash. The details here can be technical, but look for source names and error codes.
