The primary location for detailed information is the SQL Server error log, which is typically found in the SQL Server installation directory under the `log` folder. Additionally, using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to examine the event logs and query the `sys.dm_exec_requests` and `sys.dm_exec_sessions` dynamic management views can provide valuable diagnostic insights.
