ok just finished running every diagnostic tool I can find on hiren boot CD (damn that took long). RAM and CPU are ok. found some error on disks but was quickly fixed. core still crashes.

Following up from knightdk how much memory do you have on the system? Is this Windows XP Professional or not? A guess is that you are running a 32 bit version of Windows XP and you may just be running out of memory.

professional 32bit, yes. if by memory you mean RAM, my RAM is 2GB and I've tried terminating every unneeded processes before starting core.

I'll try installing older versions and see if they works.

======================================================
version 0.11.1 works. I'll just use this until I find a solution.

My suspicion is that 2GB RAM (memory) is not nearly enough. You will likely have better luck with 4GB (or even better, a 64 bit system with even more memory/swap).

Glad 0.11.1 is an interim solution.

running XP SP3 (yeah). installed core in an external HD.
I don't think it's the banlist.dat or write permission issues. sometimes I get past the opening and it crashes when I exit or while it's reindexing the blockchain. I even did a complete uninstall using revo uninstaller but it still doesn't work.
...
The instruction at "0x77c33509" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".

Based on this error I think that you may have a hardware problem with your memory. Maybe try doing a hardware diagnostic and see if it finds any problems

The "Invalid or missing banlist.dat" is normal in .12.0. If you have never banned anyone, you have no banlist.dat, and regardless of the message, it will not be recreated.

If the message bothers you, just ban someone, then unban them. This will create a banlist.dat, then no more banlist messages.

Based on the last message in debug.log, I would guess that bitcoin is not able to create the file banlist.dat

Are you running linux? Does bitcoin have permission to write to this folder? (K:\Important files\Bitcoin\)
