>What does it actually crash with (this StackOverflow entry might be useful - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3643395/how-to-get-android-crash-logs )? Does it crash when you just plug in or unplug a regular phone charger? If not, then something must be different - and perhaps broken - about the regulator you're using.
At a deeper level these days electronics depend on detecting a number of electrons. Memory cells for example are two plates and you store a charge on them then detect if the charge is there or not. The way you do this is by storing electrons on one side a negative charge but Heisenberg's uncertainty principle mean*s *for a single electron you cannot be certain exactly where it is. Fortunately for a group of them stats comes into play and we can be reasonably certain. Memory cells can discharge a few electrons for various reasons and so for a one if we put 10,000 electrons on to start we might end up with 8,000. For a zero instead of 0 electrons we might end up with 1,000. In the real world if the memory cell isn't perfect and only stores 6.000 electrons then the voltage is low you might end up with 4,000 not 6,000. At what point do you decide if its a one or a zero? The more electrons we use the better the result, however the less we use the cheaper it is to manufacture by reducing the cell size. Now do you see how varying the voltage can affect the memory cells? The insulator between the two plates can be broken down with sufficient voltage once this has happened it will require a lower over voltage the next time to discharge and that is what shortens the life of the phone.
