If you experience QlikView Server service crashes you should look into the QlikView Server Event logs.
If you see the below entries then it might be that you have a corrupted application crashing the service every time it would try to load it into memory

Environment:

QlikView any version

Resolution:

In such a case, you can first try to move this application away from the QlikView User Document folder so that the QlikView Server service won't try to load it. 

If it works you can then investigate the corrupted application using How to handle corrupt objects in QVW or corrupt QVW.
