 Why QuickBooks Keeps Crashing: Common Causes

1. Damaged or Corrupt Company File

A corrupted .QBW file can cause QuickBooks to crash on load or while processing transactions.

2. Outdated QuickBooks Version

If you're using an outdated version, QuickBooks may not be compatible with the latest OS or security patches.

3. Corrupt Installation or Program Files

Partial or damaged installation files can trigger crashing or freezing during regular use.

4. Third-party Conflicts (PDF Tools, Anti-virus, Printers)

Some software (like PDF converters, firewalls, or anti-virus programs) interfere with QuickBooks processes.

5. Too Large Company File

Exceeding size limits can cause performance issues and crashes.

QuickBooks relies heavily on Microsoft .NET Framework. A corrupted framework can lead to instability.
