[RESOLVED] "Launch Project" taking up loads of CPU and causing computer crashes?

Probably a hardware issue and not Ren‘Py. Thanks everyone for helping!
edit: By "temporally", I mean that it hasn't been quite long enough for me to know for sure, but it seems to work so far! Hopefully I remember to update the title if it continues working. c: Moral of the story: don't use outdated software. ^.^'
Hello! I'm brand new and I signed up because recently my computer has been shutting down suddenly (Kernel Panic) for the first time. The only new software I have and have been running is Ren'Py and Editra. I downloaded it last Thursday (the 5th), but I didn't start having issues until Saturday. Today I took a nap with Ren'Py open and my laptop seemed fine, so I closed it and left for a bit. I came back maybe 10 minutes later and opened and it. Immediately, it panicked (before I even logged in) and shut down. It's weird because it seems to be happening to me often (yesterday, it happened three times only seconds after/as I was logging in), but I just left it with a center for a day and they weren't able to replicate it...
So the only suspicion I have left is that it's perhaps Ren'Py somehow? Even though it didn't start becoming a problem right away... So I thought I'd stop by to see if maybe Ren'Py is the problem. If it is, what can I do to fix this? Can I run it on an external drive with less issues? Has anyone else had this problem or is my computer just being a jerk?
I'm sure a lot of my terms when explaining this are less than robust... I'm not entirely certain I even understand what a Kernel Panic is, but the computer center just was not helpful at all so now I'm asking questions here. Thank y'all for your time. <3
