Messages crashing

Hey guys! Recently my iMessages on iMac have been crashing. I try to open system preferences and it crashes. I noticed that people on here have had similar issues and I have followed the comments to try and fix the issue but nothing has worked. Can anyone help?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Messages and System Preferences are both crashing?


Try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. On the screen with Options, please open Options and check the bottom 2 boxes before running. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.
