I am interested to know,
what are top few reasons might cause VC service to crash

post here logs of vcenter,
you don´t have any logs in Windows about Service of Vcenter ?
Yes . All of the VC's activities are logged in the machine in which you have VC installed. Simply get to the folder containing the vpxd logs (it varies depending on the guest OS) and look for log entries around the time it crashed . Please also note that the logs get rolled out if you restart the VC and continue using it.The amount of space for logging is limited,so VC overwrites logs like in a circular datastructure. Do collect vc-support in case of a crash immidiately.
