Review this DOCUMENT. Short answer: need to recreate a central file from an older local file that you can still open, or older version of the central file (backup) that opens.

Make sure everyone is using the latest build of Revit. Don't mix Window operating systems (win 7 and win 10 for example)...and the other advice in the article, for example it sometimes is caused by family corruption. You can try to use Save Library and see if that crashes on any specific families.
