ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced

What should I try next? How come I have to manually start the instance? Do I have to do this every time? Why is it terminating?
Also, nothing in the Application Event Log that tells me why I got the ORA-01092, is there a logfile somewhere?
