My recent experience is that QB attempts to load an ADVERTISEMENT behind the Home window when you login. This is causing the crash, and happens because Intuit hates us.
Try this: Disable or disconnect internet from your computer. Now start QB and login normally. If QB stays up & no crash, this is your issue. You can now reconnect to network/internet and continue as normal.
My customer had this issue many months ago and I was able to identify & fix the problem, unfortunately I don't remember what the fix was... I will post the solution later today when I figure it out.
