Eclipse Crashes When Auto Complete is Used - Java Error Log is EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

1

Eclipse was working fine until today. Every time the autocomplete menu pops up, Eclipse crashes and a Java error log file is created which I have pasted below. For example, if I'm writing the name of a variable and press control + space, it crashes after the autocomplete menu pops up. Everything else other than the autocomplete seems to work fine.

I read some things that it may be related to the web browser of Eclipse and I noticed that when I go to Eclipse settings and click on the web browser settings, Eclipse also crashes so I am thinking it has something to do with that. Another thing to note is that when reinstalling Eclipse, the Eclipse installer also crashes with the same Java error so I had to reinstall using a package.

Things I have tried:

New install of Eclipse.

New install of the Java JDK, tried different JDK versions as well.

Turned off Antir-virus, no change.

I am using latest version of Windows 10 64 bit (my windows install is pretty fresh btw, made a clean install a couple of weeks ago). Latest version of Eclipse. Tried various versions of the JDK.

Here is the top half and the last half of the log file. Was not able to post all of the log file. Can post more of it if needed.

For future readers, the issue was caused by a dying hard drive. A new HDD and a fresh install fixed the issues.
