What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Fingers crossed, did that and updated the video/graphics driver ( windows apparently thinks 4 versions behind is updated) and reset the prefs, so far is working with 0 crashes.
