We noticed from multiple customers’ environment that Windows 7 operating system intermittently crashes, while they  working with Visual Studio 2010 [VS 2010]. Since this was happening with multiple customers’ environment, I just thought of publish the details and fix for this issue in this blog.

Issue Details :

Windows 7 operating system crashes, while opening the multiple instances of Silverlight project through Visual Studio 2010 SP1 IDE. Troubleshoot this issue further; we have collected below data from the machine, which was crashed:

  1. Windows Event Log [System Event Log]
  2. Kernel Memory dump located under ‘%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP’
