Have you tried deleting your intellisense DB file for the solution your working on (the .ncb file i believe).  I've noticed that with older versions of VS, this file can sometimes get corrupted and cause a crash when you try to do something that accesses the intellisense.  I haven't seen this happen though since 2005 came out.  To do this, close the solution and VCExpress.  Delete the associated .ncb file.  Then relaunch VCExpress and the solution file

If the crash was actually random and there was no common event linking them like trying to "go to definition" or something like that, then, this approach will probably not work
