The most likely reasons for Sigil to crash on start-up are:

1. A corrupted sigil.ini setting file. Try renaming that file to something else so that Sigil will create a new one. Its location depends on your OS.

2. Bad or missing graphics drivers can cause crashes on start-up. Try updating your graphics driver.

3. Missing or incomplete installs often caused by overzealous anti-virus programs. Try temporarily disabling any anti-virus software during the install.

4. Interference from a poorly programmed Qt application or OS file extension. Try rebooting in safe-mode to see if that helps.

5. Missing required shared libraries or dlls (too old glibc, missing C++ runtime library)

But as Turtle91 said, we need more info in order to help.
