I suppose fixing your code would prevent it from crashing, but as I have no idea what your code is or which editor you are using I/we cannot offer any other assistance.

Well as you said you are pressing F5 to run the code I'm guessing you are using IDLE and it is IDLE crashing rather than python (Python and IDLE are not the same thing as many people new to python think they are). You could try another IDE and see if that helps. If this isn't the case then provide a little more information. What kind of code are you trying to run? What OS are you on? etc.

ok i will try another IDE.. but i was just doing some simple things like

a = 0
while a < 10:
a = a + 1
print (a)

Well if that's actually what your code looks like then your indentation is wrong. Nonetheless this shouldn't crash your IDE (not even IDLE). It should just give you an error.

a = 0
while a < 10:
    a = a + 1
    print (a)

That will loop indefinitely, and I assume you meant:

a = 0
while a < 10:
    a = a + 1
    print (a)

The first thing that your book or tutorial should tell you is about the importance of indenting in Python.

Mekire beat me to it
