Backup your photo library elsewhere before you do anything else.

Double check where your photo library location is not over 85% full.

Make sure you aren't running anything else when you do the following, as you'll want to the machine to be let alone for awhile. Make sure the Energy Saver is turned off in the System Preferences.

Rebuild the iPhoto library with a command-option key combination when you open iPhoto after a cold boot. Let it rebuild. If it still unexpectedly quits, try tagging your photo with keywords or ratings, or whatever tagging system you haven't used. This will force it to identify those items not tagged as possible corrupt or hidden photos that need to be remapped to their original file once it sorts by the correct attribute.

Find Any File can be helpful in locating old photos iPhoto and Spotlight can not:
