Can you post any code at all? Specifically around the Start() method?
Are you calling the Start() method, etc? Anything like this?

I'm not convinced that this class is really intended to be inherited;
the only virtual methods it exposes come from Component - what are you
trying to do here?

Not without seeing your code - other than that it's very likely that
your method is either calling itself or calling another method which is
calling back to your method.

i am starting process using this.start.

does it look like this, perchance?

public void Start() { // might be declared "new"
// something
this.Start();
// something
}

This will explode with a stack overflow. Either call base.Start() or
pick another name. Or better - *contain* a Process, don't *inherit*
from one - i.e. have a wrapper object that internally uses a Process
instance.
