Anyone else find DS 4.9.4.122 to be unstable?

I'm using DS4.9.4.122 Pro Edition 64-bit Public Build, but to be honest, it's not just 4.9.122, I was having similar issues with 4.9.4.117:

The type of problems I'm experiencing are intermittant and not repeatable unfortunately. They include:

1) Crash on start up. DS gets as far as the Flash Screen and starts the process of loading DS, then gives a general Microsoft error warning that an unknown error has occured along with the usual search for a solution, which always fails to find an answer. The crash seems to happen at random places in the start-up proceedure. Repeating the program initialisation a few times usually works though sometimes a full computer restart is required.

2) DS freezes as a result of a random instruction to do something, eg changing a display setting or texture setting. This often locks up the whole computer, though not always.

3) DS freezes upon completion of a render. The render is visible on the screen but either I cannot type in the image name box, or after doing that I cannot click on save. This error always locks up DS, usually permanently, though sometimes DS will just crash eventually. Usually this error also locks the entire computer.

4) Earlier DS sometimes reported that OpenGL was only version 1.1 (even after the graphics card driver was updated). I haven't seen that error message for a while though now.

I am using dual Nvidia GeForce 980 GTx ti graphics cards and have been for quite a long time, but these errors have only recently been appearing. DS seems to be the only program that is experiencing a serious problem, though sometimes other programs will pause for many seconds (which I thought might indicate a hard drive issue). I use Auslogics Boost Speed 9 to keep the registry clean and the unused links to a minimum and for general computer maintainence including disk checking and defraging.

I can't pin the problem down and I don't know that it originates with DS, but certainly DS is the most affected program. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    About 1,  I see what you dsicribed  when I frist download recent beta through DIM , and taunch.

     (I usually test all beta, because  there is no clear difference about  stablility for ds  Beta and ds product version. I often see, beta is more stable, than product version, or only beta remove some important bug, but show new strange bug,,, it is  bad joke about daz studio product version, for me)

    but fortunately,, once I re-booted my PC with crying,   daz sutdio beta launch withotu problem.

     though  I download new beta,a few days before,,, then do not play with much still. 

    then did you up-date video driver ?  I actually use same dual graphic cards with windows 10 up-date "ceators" version ,   interesting if something wrong happened for my toys.  but not checked recent driver, for almost one month, I think.
