Visual Studio 2013 crashing multiple times a day

Question

I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4. Computer is Windows 7, 64 bit, 8gb ram, 1tb hd. Multiple times a day it will lock up and crash while I am doing normal coding operations. Sometimes its while i'm opening a file, or renaming a variable, or just typing code. It was doing this with Update 3 and Update 2. Does anyone know how to fix this?

edit 2: I started working in a secondary project for a different portion of program and noticed it only happens when working in my big project (22k lines, 70+ files). The new project im working in is only 10 files and 2k lines of code, and has not crashed for the week i've been in it so far.

edit: here is the xml error log when it crashes

Any chance you are saving your project in the default My Documents path, and that is stored on a domain network resource? — asawyer, Nov 13 '14 at 20:32
Installed update 4 last night, been using it today and it locked up and crashed again. — Todes3ngel, Nov 14 '14 at 17:05
This doesn't look like an IntelliTrace issue since the problem mentions Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.ViewManager. Did you opt-in to be part of the customer improvement program and send crash information to Microsoft? — Colin Thomsen, Nov 15 '14 at 03:49
I clicked on the send MS the error button to get more details on the crash. and the code above is what they game me. — Todes3ngel, Nov 18 '14 at 15:12
