I was getting these with 8.4 but not as bad so I got the latest update today, and it got worse not better. Cannot figure out how to turn tag browser off in preferences, sorry. But not sure if that would help. This library is huge (about 5000 books - and full of errors in spelling, genre, author so I am going book by book, fixing it) Into my second week... Crashes do not help.
Click the Luggage tag icon to hide tag browser.

Now to your problem.
What OS?
Calibre can use quite a chunk of CPU power during changes/converts. If something is weak in your system it can rear up.

Windows. HD errors. run disk repair tool (chkdisk)
then defrag the drive.
weak RAM: download and run Memtest86+ (on the CD menu of a Ubuntu LiveCD (just boot the CD) (Then try Ubuntu without having to install it )
