Diagnosing Visual Studio 2015 repeated crashing/restarting

I am using VS 2015 and I have one project that habitually crashes/restarts about ever 10 minutes. It doesn't happen with all my projects, it just seems to be one offending project. What is the best way to analyze what is causing the crash?

Why does my Visual Studio keeps crashing?

If you experience crashes of Visual Studio, typically when working with a very large solution, your IDE might be out of virtual memory. Typical indicators of the problem include a "one or more errors occurred" message, "the process appears to be deadlocked" message, and OutOfMemory exception in a crash dump.

I have a many MSVS compilers around ... but MSVS 2015 isn't one of them.

HOWEVER:

I think one or both of the following might help:

  1. Start MSVS, Open your project, and go into Tools > Options >

    • Environment > Auto-recover: turn OFF (for troubleshooting)
    • Projects and Solutions: disable anything that looks "suspicious"
  2. Try starting MSVS with the /log parameter.
