After about 30 minutes of using the Creation Kit, it will stop responding when I double-click on any item in the object window. Sometimes it may open, for example, a weapon window, but most of the window is blank so cannot edit anything but maybe the name. I've attempted to uninstall and reinstall the CK but this hasn't remedied the situation.

I am opening, editing and closing a lot of item windows, such as renaming enchanted armor/weapons, so don't know if after a certain amount the CK craps out or what.

I have the CK set to load Skyrim.esm and all the DLC. My mod is an overhaul coming in at 4,500 kb.

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Its such a drain having to close and reopen the CK every 30 minutes to work on my mod.

I also have this problem when I open many forms; after a while the CK no longer opens any of them. Only fix I know: quittting and relaunching it.

Same. After creating or editing lots of quests i can no longer open anything else. Restart creation kit = wins.

While 30 minutes is rather excessive, this issue is not unique to the Skyrim CK. All of the Bethesda editors will do this at some point. It's an issue with the creation of menus, they simply stop appearing and you need to shut down the program and restart in order to continue working. The Fallout GECKs will usually function for several hours, though sometimes for much less time, but they will eventually stop creating the menus needed in order to do anything and it becomes necessary to restart. The one consolation to this annoyance is that you can still save any work done on the mod before shutting down.

Like I said, right now I've been quickly renaming a lot of enchanted items, editing weapon damage, prices, etc. so I must be opening a lot within about 30 minutes. I've created new houses and gotten a few hours out of the CK before it would fail. Just wanted to know if this was something others had experienced, if it had a fix, or whether its just an inherant flaw with Bethesda.

At this point Skyrim is just a distraction until Kingdom Come: Deliverance comes out.
