I included the Sky Tool for the first time in a project today and on trying to render the scene the entire system crashed and needed to reboot. Happened a couple of times.
Having recently installed a GTX 1080 Ti card with 11 GB RAM, I reinstalled the Nvidia drivers with a clean install and tried again. Same thing happened; a complete system crash requiring a reboot.
As the only thing I had not had experience with was the Sky Tool, I removed it from the scene and tried to render it again. This time it rendered flawlessly.
Has anyone else had a problem with the Sky Tool causing system crashes? It could be a useful tool, but it's not much use if it crashes everything.
