Unless you program in Saturn assembly language or System RPL, it is almost impossible to crash this calculator in normal use. Over all those years I never managed to crash my 48GX (revision R) in User RPL.

IIRC, there were two known bugs leading to a crash left even in the latest ROM version R, a few more in earlier revisions. See also:

Which ROM version does your calculator have? What did you try to do?
