Description theosib 2015-11-05 15:47:31 UTC 
I have just cleanly installed NetBeans IDE 8.1, and I'm using the latest JVM (Java 8 update 65).  The crash doesn't come with a Java exception.  I just get Windows 7 telling me that the IDE has stopped working.  This happens consistently a few minutes after I start NetBeans, no matter what I'm doing. 

I've tried to look for logs, but the FAQs I've found have me look in places that don't exist, so I'm guessing there are no logs for this crash.

This looks like JVM crash, please search for 

hs_err_pid<pid>.log 

file and attach is here. But I'm afraid we cannot do much about the JVM crash on our side.
Comment 2 theosib 2015-11-12 15:13:55 UTC 
I searched for files with that name, and I found two, but they're ancient, so the JVM isn't producing any logs of this kind.  What I notice is that NetBeans will crash repeatedly for the first several minutes after I've booted Windows 7, but after that, it's fine.  There is definitely something weird going on.  Another thing I notice is that other Java apps don't crash like this, so whatever is going on is likely being caused by NetBeans, regardless of whether or not there is a Java exception we can point to.
Comment 3 theosib 2015-11-12 15:25:32 UTC 
Is there a special way I can run NetBeans from the dos shell so as to get crash information?  This isn't happening automatically.
Comment 4 Jiri Prox 2016-02-25 15:23:39 UTC 
The pid file should be generated automatically, this is done directly by JVM.
Anyway, IDE generated messages.log located in your userdir, can you please attach it here? Maybe there is some clue.

Thanks
