woke up to no boot

thursday night I put my pc in sleep mode
fri morn I come back and find the bios screen displaying.
I tried rebooting, and no go. It didn't identify the right hard disk.
So I repaired the boot with macrium reflect recovery disk.
I booted to windows, and after five minutes, I get a BSOD complaining of the failure of a critical file. It was unable to create a log.
I restored my system from a macrium reflect system image, and so far so good.
But what happened??
normally I would blame it on the electricity flickering on and off, but my pc is powered through a UPS, so a flaky electricity supply shouldn't be an issue.

Is Macrium up to date? It may be possible there was a bug what may have caused the problem.

I am running the latest version.

Ok, you might not like what I say in this post

Unless you can reproduce the problem, I wouldn't try it, it is difficult to say what may have caused the problem.

at least I am not alone in being puzzled by this...

I understand you want to know what caused it, but there are just so many things that could have caused it and the only way to find the possible cause is to reproduce it but that takes the risk that you might not be able to succesfully restore Windows the next time.
