Lastly, maybe try creating a new user, if you don't have an alternate, log in, and see if it does this under the other user. If it doesn't consider scrapping your QC prefs.

This trick is a good reason to keep Quartz Composer plugins in ~/ Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer… folders (~ is a user home directory)

rather than /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer… folders, whose plugins and patches are loaded for all users.

When you say loading the particle system, do you mean that placing it from the patch library onto the editor crashes it, or is it actually placing the Viewer into run mode? Is there a queue in this setup (I've anecdotally noted that high particle/queue counts can cause crashes in QC, and even incidents like log outs, protected memory be damned)?

Have you tried a total reboot of your system, to make sure that nothing is hanging onto any plugins (eg., you may have removed them, but something may still have it loaded besides QC)? That shouldn't really make a difference, but sometimes stuff going on in Finder and other apps can interplay with QC, and cause crashes of one or the other, or all.

Lastly, maybe try creating a new user, if you don't have an alternate, log in, and see if it does this under the other user. If it doesn't consider scrapping your QC prefs.
