This happens randomly, when I use it, when I don't use it, when rendering, pretty much any possible time. It's not often enough to be really annoying, but often enough that I've lost work and render time.
Does anybody else have this issue?
I run it from a Kingston DataTraveller 2.0 USB device and most often on a vista OS.

I'd suggest first trying a fresh install of the new 2.70 release (removing your Data folder and resetting your settings). I'd also suggest trying to run it from a local directory for a while if that doesn't solve it. It could be either (1) your USB device or (2) your connect to the USB device aka a short in one of your ports or (3) something else interfering. If the latest version is still crashing on you, trying to run Blender Portable just copied to your Desktop directory for a little while will help us rule our 1 and 2.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I'm fairly certain it's not 1 or 2 as I run other applications from the same device that so far has not crashed.
I'll try to get the newest release, thank you for the very quick reply
