Are you running Plex Media Server as a Windows service? If so, it might be something with that. Try running PMS normally, not as a service and see if you get the same crashes.

Same has been happening to me lately. I just double click the Plex Media Server .exe after it’s installed. Also I’ve noticed that when this happens the CPU usage goes to 25-30%.

No idea how to run it as a service – its just a does a normal startup when windows boots.

This is a problem, a major one. Would be nice to get help troubleshooting it.
