Hi,

I've got an issue running node v4.4.7 on one particular machine. It's a Windows 10 tablet with pre-release version of Goldmont CPU. So the issue could be caused by unsupported HW.

Whatever script I give it to execute, node silently exits without executing the script.

Node.exe binary was downloaded from https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.4.7/win-x64/

test.js:
console.log('test');

When I ran it like this:
node test.js
it exits without any errors and without console output. Didn't find anything in Windows event logs either.

Also tried:
node debug test.js
same result.

Version and command line help are printed fine:
node -v
v4.4.7

Tested with 4.5.0 - same result.
But with 4.6.0 everything works fine. Though I do not see any 4.6.0 release notes that could be related to the issue like this.

How could I further troubleshoot the issue? This time I'm lucky since 4.6.0 was released the next day I saw the issue with 4.4.7. But not seeing anything relevant in the release notes makes me think that I can see such behavior again, maybe on different hardware.
