I'll run a memory diagnostic just to eliminate the possibility of bad RAM, but other than that I can't think of anything else to try.

*update*
RAM diagnostic checks fine.
I installed the latest version (6.12) of calibre and it seems more stable. I was able to add 4 directories without it crashing. It still takes 3-4 seconds to add each book but I can live with that. I might look into the command line to see if it will add books faster, and then use the GUI to edit metadata after.

I still don't understand why it has to load the entire PDF into memory to look at the metadata if I have the "Read metadata from filename" checked.
