The reason it keeps crashing, is you have not fixed what causes the crash. You should have a log file of the crash. Towards the bottom of the log, it should list what happened. I hope this helps a little.

most of the time when xplane crashes is because the settings on the graphic output is set too high. bring all the setting down to bare minimum and slowly raise it up there.

You can post your log file on pastebin and people can take a look to try and help you better

Should you run into the same problems again, you can delete the preferences which is what you did when you deleted and reinstalled X-Plane

 

There is a folder in X-Plane called /Output/Preferences

In there, you will find files ending in .prf

Try deleting the X-Plane.prf first, and then you should be able to reset them again manually which will create a new file.
