Did you removed the crashed server using DCpromo?
If no then you need to perform metadata cleanup, transfer Fsmo roles, etc...
And you need to manually remove the Server from Active Directory Sites and
Services.
for more information check it:

You do not have to reinstall all, what you need to do is install DNS on the
remaining DC, add the zone, restart the netlogon service run ipconfig
/registerdns and make the DC a Global Catalog.
