title: NPM causes segmentation faults
body: <p>Whenever I run npm on the command line, whether it's npm install or npm run build or just npm by itself I get segmentation faults.  I am running windows 8.1  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling node.js with different x64 msi from the node website.  All successfully install node.js but whenever I return to the command prompt, terminal, or git bash to run npm.  The same recurring issue of segmentation fault keeps appearing.</p>
  <p>Is there anyone who has experience segmentation fault on windows? What methods or approach did you take to resolve it?<br />

  I tried installing current version, then older versions and nothing sees to work.  Is there an installation process I might be skipping unknowingly?  Or is there still binaries in registry that need to be purged before a different installation?  Or other hidden directories to delete?</p>
  <p>Please help.  Thanks</p>
