Visual Studio 2015 crashes on startup...

Only Visual studio crashes.... I have tried to solve it by using Devenv command at Command Prompt but of no use....I used :-

c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\common7\IDE>Devenv.exe /ResetSettings

and another...

c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\common7\IDE>Devenv /ResetSettings *.*

but the output was the same.

The message shown is :-

Message title:

Microsoft Visual Studio has stopped working.

Statement: Microsoft Visual Studio is checking for the problem...

After this message another message box is shown which says msvs is collecting information about the problem and will notify you once a solution is found. with two buttons - Debug and Close program. And the system closes. It also happens with Blend. Same problem...and nothing else problem happens.

try running studio in safe mode.
Right click on the exe of studio, go to properties, go to Target and append /safemode at the end.
your path ......Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /safemode"
devenv.exe /SafeMode - if you are using commandline to launch it.

May be due to memory issue. Free up some CPU and disk memory.
