This is Windows error code C0000005 or ACCESS_VIOLATION, which may indicate some problem in node or npm. It may be related to the system permissions. It is pretty unlikely it's something node-sass can fix.

[saper]

You can see what happens from the Windows command line if you run

cmd /d /s /c node

Do you get a node prompt there?

@FrontEndMonster Delete autoprefixer-core and use autoprefixer

[saper]

Filed npm/npm#11024 with the npm project.

[saper]

report	Windows_NT	node	npm
@frontendmonster	5.1.2600	5.0.0	3.3.6
@vzdeadler	5.1.2600	4.2.4	2.14.12
@Mohit127	5.1.2600	4.2.4	3.5.2

So it's all fairly recent node on Windows XP

Interesting piece from node:

https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/842e5a10ac59c826f875ef79e92d144e2655cc9a/test/common.js#L502-L505

  // On Windows, v8's base::OS::Abort triggers an access violation,
  // which corresponds to exit code 3221225477 (0xC0000005)
  if (process.platform === 'win32')
    expectedExitCodes = [3221225477];

so it looks like it's a V8's special case
