lets see... to minimize the list... These usually cause me to crash. 1. Deleting from inventory while a search is in progress. 2. Standing still and then trying to move. 3. Moving my mouse. 4. Logging in. 5. Changing Land Video Stream. 6. Accessing Inventory Items like Sounds and animations. 7. When people all gather around me. 8. Trying to edit a prim. 9. Going AFK to get a snack. 10. Everything else i do.
I have 3 computers and they all fall victum of it so dont even tell me its client side. o.o

Selecting individual prim-face texture on large linked object. Not actually doing a damn thing for five whole minutes besides having a conversation with someone in a near-empty sim and panning the camera around.
I'm lucky, I guess. My old computer doesn't have the normal faults new ones do.
Now, i DO have problems trying to FLY MORE THAN A FEW SIMS in the northern continent. I either get trapped in a sim or the sim or I simply get no BW at all. I'm about to drop my Pyeri parcel because more than once I'd be doing nothing and BAM, no connection.

For me, the client has crashed under the following conditions:
1) Moving multiple objects from the contents of a "box" into the inventory, where a pop-up dialog occurs, and failing to realize that the pop-ups are there.
2) Streaming audio! In the one time that I turned it on, it crashed SL.
3) Multiple events - when something is trying to happen at the same time as a sound event, the game will act like a record that is stuck on a scratch before finally crashing.

Goodness. I only crash when crossing sim borders or when I've been shot with a push weapon. I ALWAYS crash or bug out after being shot with a push weapon.
I get around this by flying at 1500+ meters in a slow moving vehicle. Rumor has it that SAM launchers can't be installed over 1000 meters and their sensors don't reach over 100 meters to blow you out of the sky. I don't know if that's true, but flying that high works...As long as I don't fly faster than a snail's pace. Teleports themselves don't crash me, but teleports fail a lot. Again, because we use teleport hubs and everything is 300+ meters from the hub, it's easier just to fly there in a baloon and drop on top of wherever I'm going because I can't fly below 1500 meters without crashing.
Strangely, I never have problems panning, streaming or playing with my inventory, but I think I'm in the minority from what I've heard.

I crash when searching for textures when the texture window has opened my inventory.

Have had the video crash a number of times. Believe it is due to quicktime trying to spawn new copies of itself and eating up all free memory.
Had some odd problems, not crashes but might as well have been. Fallen from over 20 meters and av assumed odd grumpled appearance. Unable to move or fly; TP restored normal appearance but still frozen so I had to relog both times.

I've also had the video buffering crash more often than not. I also crash when I delete some items - usually freebies but sometimes skins, usually clothing - I can't seem to find the pattern to this.

I've crashed on occasion opening multiple items from Inventory and sorting really fast, but this is sporadic.

i've noticed most crashes happening when streaming music starts to garble... can stop the stream then start again to avoid it if i'm paying attention and my fingers are nimble enough

My computer tend to freeze up when running SL with other programs like PSP or Poser etc. Even though I have 1 gig ram and tons of hardrive space. I also run a gforce 6800.
Also when I am getting network packet loss it starts garbling up my music and will crash the client.
