JDK 8 update 66 fatal error for JavaFx application

Question

I'm making a JavaFx app. Today I integrated a login panel and a registration panel to it. After integrating those, I started getting a fatal error whenever I ran the app which didn't happen earlier. The log of the error is as follows:

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (0xc000001d) at pc=0x000007feec5d5c01, pid=5552, tid=4252

JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_66-b17) (build 1.8.0_66-b17) Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.66-b17 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops) Problematic frame: C [msvcr120.dll+0x95c01]

Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of Windows

OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
Java: JDK 8u66
IDE: Netbeans 8.0.1

---

I also ran the app on a system with Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit (JDK 8u77 and Netbeans 8.0.2) and the app ran fine without any fatal errors (or any errors).

The thing that I want to know is that, is it a development issue or a JVM issue? Should I just raise an issue and continue with JDK 8u77?
