constant eclipse crashes

Question

I am using the latest eclipse version (Indigo) on a machine: CPU: Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit Windows, and eclipse keeps freezing very frequently. I increased all the memory things (permgen ...), but it did not help. When it stops responding a window pops out with the following data:

Java was started but returned exit code= -805306369
-XX:PermSize=256M
-XX:MaxPermSize = 512M
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
...

If you need more input, please feel free to ask :)

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you, in advance.

did you try starting eclipse with a -clean argument after the changes? — mhan, May 31 '12 at 11:35

Looking at your 64 bit Windows; I remembered this thread. See if the solution there resolves it

Also as my comments above suggests; a -clean start to eclipse is a good idea, as you have good enough RAM to get it cleaned faster. Slower machines will struggle cleaning every time you start eclipse.
