Backup your wallet first and then update

Ps: I thought you are using latest version 1.8

Try 1.8 version, if you still get errors then use 1.7.4

This was not an issue with Electrum.

The OP had a slow pc and a wallet full of small inputs; it simply took a few minutes to create the transaction. The OP considered this to be a crashing Electrum process.

He left it running and the transaction got sent.

Thats right, i thought the client had crashed but it kinda got stuck in calculation.

Amount i wanted to send, was sent finally after 5 minutes.

Thank you for your help. The Topic can be closed :)
