New mac user, iPhoto keeps crashing

Have only had our macbook air about 1 month. We went to a one on one for iphoto yesterday and installed a lot of our old photos on to the mac in iphoto(~5000 pics). When we came home and started doing things with the pics, iphoto keeps crashing. Usually within 10 seconds. Have read thru some of the discussions and tried a couple of the tips. It still crashes.
