MBP2018 15" keeps hard crashing - how to debug?

[laz232]

My 2018 MBP hangs (blank screen) - requires holding down the power button.

Happened 3 times this week doing work in VMWare.

I have the admin password, but am a non-admin user.

Which Console logs should I look into - and how to do so from my non-admin account?
