I assume you're using MuMIn::dredge. If so, most likely the model fitting function with some 
combination of parameters causes the crash. You can use 'trace = TRUE' argument for 'dredge' to find 
out which model is it. To see the output after the crash, use either R in console (not RGUI) or 
divert the output to a file with 'sink'.
