Hi :) When renaming or creating a back-up i tend to find it's better to use the date in reverse order, eg .2014-01-02, rather than .old or .backup. Makes it easier to figure out which ones to delete and which to keep.
In the past crashes have been due to either; 1. java issues or 2. user profile issues, such as Extensions that don't work in a newer version of LO The easiest one to test for and quickly fix is 2. Also java issues are much less likely now unless you use the internal back-end in Base, sometimes accessibility bridges to screen-readers, some wizards. We could probably help you avoid most of those - for example by migrating to an external back-end in Base. However it's quite likely that you have java switched on even though you don't need it at all. If you do need it then you might need to try out a few versions of java, hopefully just their most recent update might work but it's never certain. Also a 'few' months ago a couple of people seemed to experience crashes that i don't think we ever quite figured out. I think we even started to look into hardware issues. LibreOffice itself is rarely/never the problem but hopefully we can help you find which 3rd party issue is causing the problem. Hopefully it's just one of the Extensions/Add-ons in your User Profile.
