Hi @jimfoo88 could you try to update spyder? If you are using Anaconda you could try conda install spyder=4.1.*. If you use pip something like pip install -U spyder should make the update.

Hi Daniel, thanks for the speedy response, I'll try updating it.

Update: I've used conda update spyder to update spyder to ver 4.1.4 and now I'm able to code and run my program for more than 8hrs without crashing, I would say it's very stable now.

Once again, thanks a lot for your help.
