Why is my New Crown Breaking the 3rd Time?

MD in Initals Only
I had an old crown replaced after 7 years of being completely fine. Two weeks after the initial fitting the crown cracked and chipped. The dentist was kind enough to fix it, but while I was sitting in the dentist chair with the new crown in my mouth, it cracked and chipped again in the same place. Finally I got a new one yesterday, and I found that it has broken again! I don't eat anything hard, the doctor took 2 impressions of my bite, and x-rays. What's the problem?
