I installed 5.1.0.3 (I came from 5.0.4), and started writing a new Writer document. Within seconds Writer crashed. I went on editing the document, but Writer kept on crashing all the time, even when I wasn't using it, or when I wasn't working with the laptop at all. So I gave up and installed 5.0.5, no problems so far.
It is probably because of OpenGL being enabled due to a mistake in 5.1 release. You can use this to safely try 5.1.1: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/SI-GUI Hopefully you still have this file after running 5.1.0: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\cache\opengl_device.log Would be cool to know what is in it. Setting to NEEDINFO while we wait for your results.
The log file isn't very interesting... DriverVersion: 10.18.10.4276 DriverDate: 8-17-2015 DeviceID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_71021558&REV_09 AdapterVendorID: 0x8086 AdapterDeviceID: 0x0166 AdapterSubsysID: 0x71021558 DeviceKey: System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{9F41D2F2-9AC4-4E1F-B314-5DEA806CDEDE}\0000 DeviceString: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
(In reply to Dirk Munk from comment #2) > The log file isn't very interesting... Sure it is :) Let me know, if 5.1.1 fixes the issue.
Can you get a stack trace from the crash ? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg you seem to have a reasonably new driver - which is good =) Thanks !
5.1.1. is working perfectly, no problems what so ever. During the installation I had to close two browsers because a component was updated that was also in use by the browsers. Interesting ....... I noticed that the 5.0.5. deinstall procedure also worked fine, with 5.0.4. I had the old problem that the program directory in the libreoffice directory was left in a state of ?!?!, You couldn't use it or delete it, and you had to reboot. After the reboot the directory was gone.

After the reboot the directory was gone. Can you get it to crash in 5.1.1, if you enable: Tools - Options - LibO - View - Use OpenGL for all rendering AND Force OpenGL? The setting might get disabled automatically after a crash. If you can get it to crash in 5.1.1, Michael might be interested in a backtrace like he said.
OpenGL was enabled, so 5.1.1. is behaving perfectly. No crashes!
All right, it seems some major bug was fixed then :) Setting to WFM as we don't know the commit.
Phew; that is encouraging - I suspect it was the DMA texture memory corruption issue that we fixed here. Thanks for the report & for re-testing 5.1.1 ! =) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 97700 ***
