Calibre Stops Working...

So when I go into Calibre and do various things with it (Resizing a window. Only one I tried and confirmed.) it "stops working" and shuts down. Is there something I am doing wrong or is it a problem with my computer?. Thanks for any help!

Most likely there is something wrong with your computer.

The computer shuts down?

#1 guess) Bad or clogged CPU Fan. Resize has to do a bit of crunch to redisplay.
(broken heat sink latch would be another similar)

#2 Guess) PSU on its last legs/overloaded (caused by bulging Motherboard CAPS)

Bad Graphics drivers or Malware is a posibility

Or an over worked graphics adapter.

There are too many possibilities.

First, try to put a similar load onto the computer using other programs, and/or do similar things. If Calibre crashes on converting books, then convert some WAV or FLAC music to MP3. If Calibre crashes on fast window resizing, do the same with other programs.

Do these programs crash as well?

If not, remove Calibre from the computer, including the folder in "C:\Users\Your-Username\AppData\Roaming\calibre". Reinstall the program (without plugins at first, and then try again.

I have no problems with Calibre on my computer, except when I install the Favorites plugin. Then it starts crashing. It doesn't do so for others; it could be that I use another plugin, that makes the combination of Favorites/Other crash. I haven't researched it, because I don't want to give up any of the plugins I use now.
