Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Crashing constantly

Question

Hi, me and my collegues at work are having problems with VS2010 B2, almost everytime we debug our app and close it VS stops responding completely we have to take it down and restart.

Our environment is as follows:

Windows Vista Business 64bits (3 machines) and Ultimate 64bits( 1 machine)
We are using source 2005 safe for Source Control

We are developing a .net FW4 app with webservices and access to a Oracle Database all using Framework 4 converted from 3.5sp1

We also have some of the extensions (ZoomEditorMargin, Source Outliner, Power Commands and Go To Definition)

The machines are all Intel Quad Cores with Ram Between 5 and 6GB and a onboard graphics card

Is there any issues we should be aware of? How can we solve this issue?

Thanks,

Bruno Silva

Answer 1

Hi Bruno,

I'm sorry to hear that VS2010 is crashing so often for you.  The best course of action is probably to collect a crash dump and then file a Connect bug, which will route the issues you're seeing to the right team for investigation and fixing.  Each bug you file will be read and responded to individually by a member of the Visual Studio team.

Thanks for trying VS 2010 Beta2 and posting your feedback!

Answer 2

I'm having the exact same issue, I can't seem to complete anything without VS2010 Beta 2 constanly crashing.
If anyone else is having this issue, please speak up so we can figure it out.

I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 - with all updates installed.
Quad core processor and 8gigs of ram.

I have already posted a crash dump to the connect site.

VS2010 Beta 2 works and runs fine on my laptop, but not on my beast of a machine desktop.
I don't get it???????

Thanks
