Solving random crashes

Question

I am getting random crashes on my C++ application, it may not crash for a month, and then crash 10 times in a hour, and sometimes it may crash on launch, while sometimes it may

Answer 1

If all else fails (particularly if performance under the debugger is unacceptable), extensive logging. Start with the entry points -- is the app transactional? Log each transaction as it comes in. Log all the constructor calls for your key objects. Since the crash is so intermittent, log calls to all the functions that might not get called every day.

You'll at least start narrowing down where the crash could be.
