The top of the graph shows a "System Stability Index," a graphical representation of how stable Microsoft has determined the machine to be. If the computer is new, the graphed line will be dotted, instead of solid, to indicate that not enough data is present.
Troubleshooting varies widely based on the problem reported. Below are some tips on viewing the data:
