Sorry, this solution does not work for me.
Had a working version of 2.14.2 under Windows 7 32-bit, but unwisely upgraded to 2.14.6 LTR. Programme would load, but crashed on all but the simplest of projects with a similar minidump error as above. Have had the same issue in 2.16.
Tried removing .qgis2 folder with no effect.
Tried deselecting plugins to see if that would help. No effect.
Removed 2.14.6, then legacy 2.14.2 developed the same issue: crashing every time.
Problem project includes Openlayers plugin (but not selected at the time), georeferenced TIFFs, heatmaps, a range of raster base maps in OSGB36, and Natural Earth vector layers in WGS84. Because I cannot get the project to load, I cannot test if plugins are the cause. The option to upgrade plugins is greyed out.
Removed all versions of QGIS and orphan folders in C:/Program File, and have reverted to 2.12.2 This works for now.

? Plugins can still crash QGIS when loaded but deactivated.C:\Users\name\.qgis2
folder. Some settings are stored there.
