Visual Studio crashing all the time

I have two virtual servers running, one with Team Foundation server Beta 3 and Sql 2005, and one with Visual Studion Team edition RC installed.

When working on the Visual Studio box, it constantly crashes and especially when working with tests.

Both virtual machines have 1500 MB of memory allocated. Is this not enough maybe?

I had the previos betas installed as well and they did not crash this often. Seems a bit too much for a rc...

Has anyone else been having similar issues?

We are certainly not seeing frequent crashes on recent builds. Did the VPCs previously have older versions of VSTS on them? Perhaps there's a conflict between multiple versions of VSTS.

Hello Jonas,

Could you give us more details about the situation in which it crashes? Is it during debugging of tests? What kind of tests do you have? How many tests do you have in your solution?

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. It is mostly when I am working with testlists, then saving the list and running the tests. This has made VS crash almost every time.
There are 8 tests in the list, so not alot.

Most other tasks inside VS seems to be working fine for me though..

Hi Josh,

It was clean installs on all vpc's, so I don't think that was the problem.

Is the VSMDI file checked into TFS?

No, it usually happens either when I have created a new testlist and are adding tests to it, or when adding tests to an old list, but both times the testlist is checked out.

I have also started seeing crashes when working with web tests. Specifically when I am renaming tests within the Solution Explorer I have VS crash completely, nothing is captured to send a bug report. I find that the file within the project directory has been renamed but the .vbproj file is not updated and as such I either have to manually update the vbproj file or rename the project file back to the old name to have things line up.
