Should I make a video?
Seeing the camera crashing is not too informative. Instead, please write down the camera settings and CHDK settings you used when the camera crashed. Camera settings: go into the Canon recording menu (press MENU when the cam is in shooting mode), note every setting; open the shooting menu (SET while in shooting mode), note every setting; note which mode is selected on the mode dial; note the settings which you can adjust by pressing buttons while in shooting mode (up/down/left/right). Note if you have wifi or gps enabled. Reset CHDK settings (CHDK settings -> Reset options to default), note each CHDK setting you set after that.
OK, here are the settings:
Mode: Manual
AF Frame: Center
AF Frame Size: Normal
Digital Zoom: Off
AF-Point Zoom: On
Servo AF: On
Continuous AF: On

Open CHDK Menu>Enhanced Photo Operations>Override ISO: ON 10000
Close Menu
Use the dial to change shutter speed to 1"3

I don't think we can use Wifi when in shooting mode and I don't find it really useful but yes I have configured Wifi to try it out. My camera has no GPS (SX275).
