You should take a careful look at all the logfiles. For Windows services
that includes the normal broker log, the sasl log and the console log.
See the rabbitmq-service.bat manpage for more information about
RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG:

The other possibly useful source of inforamtion is the Erlang crash
dump. If the interpreter crashes unexpectedly then it will produce a
file named erl_crash.dump. The slogan should contain the reason for the
crash.
