If the crash happens consistently even with default (new) preferences,
could you test the workaround mentioned in comment #12 there?

Inkscape does not use the GPU - for now, it is a single-core app with enabled multi-threading for some selected processes (in 0.48, the rendering of gaussian blurs, in the current development branch the rendering of all SVG filter effects), compiled as 32bit app for the Windows port.

Title:
Windows7 Pro x64 Crash on file/inkscape preferences
Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
New
Bug description:
When attempting to open inkscape preferences, inkscape crashes and
shuts down.
If the preferences are set in the registry, you need to make sure that
you are using the proper method to access the 64 bit registry of
windows 7. You can find information regarding this on msdn and
codeproject.com
Make sure when you implement GPU in .49 that it can be disabled. My
GPU can be used this way, but it has a tendency to prevent screen
refreshing if done wrong. Found this out courtesy of Firefox 5.
It is related.
Changed:

To:

Sorry to tell you but this is a bug in windows 7.

The thread has some code you can review to fix the problem
in XP and Vista using szDevice member..
Unfortunately a post that is further down the page describes a
bug that appears to be in Windows 7.
I suggest you read the whole page, it will unfortunately be
a bit discouraging.
