As the title, opening any map in Hammer makes it crash with no error messages. It just closes itself when the Postload Processing box gets to 33%
what should I do to fix this?

Hammer crashes when loading any map

that worked! thanks very much ^^
what do you mean?
I have the OP's problem... tried the "reset game configs" suggestion. didnt work.
hammer just crashes when I try to open any map. I do think I have boojums resource pack however... isnt that just a map file with the library laid out? how can that cause hammer to crash?
where is the updated pack? i will update it anyway see it helps.

*sigh*
People download things these days without even knowing what they are...
The Resource Pack reskins a lot of the entities in hammer to be more easy to use, for example info_player_teamspawns and a lot of the gameplay entities. It also provides prefabs to make some tedious parts of mapping easier, such as doors and path_tracks. Indeed, it does also provide the gametype and prop libraries. The updated version can be found here.
-> Reset Game Configs = Source SDK -> 'Refresh SDK content' + 'Reset Game Configurations'.

To be fair, I don't think most people know the full extent of ABS's resource pack when they first install it, and it's pretty hard to do so unless you both read the full changelog and have a decent understanding of how the SDK works. For example it actually does a lot more than just re-skin entities, it also edits a fair few entity properties via the fgd file so that flags and parameters that are available, but hidden by default, become usable in hammer. I'm willing to bet that it was fgd edits that were causing hammer to crash.
Just sayin'.
