Ok now I really don't know what to do. Even version 0.14 will crash before it gets finished syncing to the network. Its a totally new wallet on a totally new machine and it can't sync up.
Could you send a pastebin with the content of the debug.conf ? maybe it will give some clues about what is happening.
Could also please tell us your network configuration ? do you have a firewall ?
I personally never had any problem with bitcoin core, but as achow said, sometimes hardware problems apear. could you also give more details about your hardware, how much RAM you have ?
