This is a problem I had with MC17 and has been the case with every drop of MC18 as well, finally got around to capturing the details though.
Basically I get a dialog, MC18 has stopped working with the following problem details...

A previous fault logged 4 days earlier looks very similar...

This has only process ID and start time being different.
I am running MC18 on Windows Server 2012 Standard (64 bit). Core i5-3570K with 16GB Ram
The system is running from an SSD with all the media stored on physical disk drives.
The program doesn't crash immediately, but runs a number of days without problems and then fails. The last time it ran for only 4 days, others it has run for a couple of weeks but it may be related to how often music is streamed which is all I use it for.
The crashes also occur at all sorts of different times of the day, 11pm, 1am, 2pm, 3am, 10pm so no obvious pattern there either and seemingly not crashing when actively streaming either.
I don't use any plugins, and only use the media server for streaming to DLNA devices around the home. I never had any problems like this on Windows Server 2008.
I've enabled logging so will follow this thread up when it crashes again next time with the details from that.
It's winding the wife up now as the server is down more often than it's up whenever she wants to play music these days after years of being ultra reliable.
