Vs 2010 Ultimate randomly crashes in WPF projects. by Richard.Haggard

Primary symptom: While working on a WPF project VS 2010 Ultimate randomly crashes on the average of 5 times a day, every day for the past 9 months which is when I started working at this new company.

My apologies, but there is little that I can tell about the problem other than the above short description so I hope that you can give me some reasonable advice on how to collect a better clues scenario.

This seems to be a machine environment issue. I suspect that because there are two other Windows programmers working on the same software. They do not experience the crashes. Taking the same source code to another machine appears to confirm this observation, making it seem likely that the problem is an environmental issue with my particular development machine.

The crash happens most commonly when building a WPF project but it can happen at any time. There is little information available. As an example of that, here is the app log of the latest crash:
