Eclipse crashing and disappearing (Windows XP)

0

I have two instances of Eclipse.

Old instance

Few months of use. Upgraded from Helios to Juno. JRE 1.6. Recently started crashing with Java error code -1. So I decided to start fresh:

New instance

Fresh download of Juno. JRE 1.7. From the very beginning, would randomly disappear all of a sudden. No crash messages, no log entry, no process resident. Just working, working, working, poof! GONE! Doesn't even auto-save on crash.

Computer Specs

  • Windows XP SP3 with latest updates
  • Pentium 4
  • HP Compaq Desktop

What are the probable causes? Any idea to fix this?

UPDATE:

Managed to find the error log. Highlights are as follows:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6e832906, pid=3648, tid=1632
