Running on Arduino 2.3.4 (Windows) for a long time causes the computer to restart

[kidult]

Hello!
I'm using Arduino 2.3.4 on win 11 (Windows).
I was using an ECG sensor to measure ECG data in real time, and after uploading the code, after running for about 5 minutes, I would encounter a system crash that caused it to restart, and at the same time, under this version, the computer would heat up very quickly. Tried switching to the 1.8.18 version, the problem was solved, but this ran into another problem, I want to be able to open the serial monitor and the serial plotter at the same time, and the 1.x version can't do it, what should I do?

Hi @kidult. Arduino IDE automatically generates log files while it is running. I'm going to ask you to provide the log file that was generated during a run of Arduino IDE that resulted in your computer restarting. It might contain information that will help us to identify the problem.

This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Please do this:

1. Start Arduino IDE and perform whatever actions that cause the problem.
2. Wait for the computer to restart.
3. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
4. Click the "Upload" icon () on the post composer toolbar:
   
   
   
   The "Open" dialog will open.
5. In the "Open" dialog, select the latest .log file from this folder (the files are named according to the date):

   C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Arduino IDE\
   

   (where <username> is your Windows username)
   ⓘ Note that the C:\Users\<username>\AppData folder is hidden by default. On Windows "File Explorer", you can make it visible by opening the "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".
6. Click the "Open" button.
   The dialog will close.
7. Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.

Alternatively, instead of using the "Upload" icon on the post composer toolbar as described in steps (5) - (7) above, you can simply drag and drop the .log file onto the post composer field to attach it.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

I have deleted your other cross-post @kidult .

Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.

Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.

In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
