Re: bitcoin-qt wallet crashes twice a month, database corrupted
I had a similar problem a couple of times. Now I'm using Norton Firewall after a consultant from Norton helped me to make exception, and 0.13.1 running ok.
But after Windows update I got crash like you. I shut down my computer and startet again. Startet bitcoin-qt wallet and after a couple of minuts it was up and go.

usually if bitcoin-qt hangup due to a block corruption, it will work again, as long as it does not attempt to access that block, once that detects the fucked up block it will hangup again, so the only solution is to do a --reindex, which takes a very long time, and my main complain is that why, if it detects a damaged block, it does not redownload it, instead, it forces you to do a full disk reindex which is crazy!.
at least with the hyper-mega tip achow101 give me of use the --dbcache=hughememoryusenumber lowered the processing time a lot, but it still takes a long time (and i know my computer is two - three year old machine, i should get at least a 6th gen intel i5 with pci-e M2 SSD, will do as soon as i can get the money for it
that kind of hw is very expensive here in my area )the other way is to restore from backup, which i can do, i backup the entire blockchain to a 7z file once a month and keep three copies, but i wanted to find another solution to prevent this or solve it quickly.
3weeks behind... almost done!!
