when you're saying "crashing", what exactly do you mean?.. is it the app that crashes.. is it that your mouse/keyboard no longer works?, is your system still running (you can ssh into it), but you can't move your mouse???
it crashed, it asploded, it died, went bye bye, sionara, adios, headed for the exit

that is different than a "system hang" or a "desktop freeze" or an "app freeze" which are the other conditions you are describing, and need to be resolved by manually killing the offending process or with the power button.
