HWiNFO64 not responding when showing many graphs

I used graphs a lot to monitor trend of CPU and GPU frequencies and temps and it has been working flawlessly. Recently I switched graphics card from RX 580 to GTX 980 Ti and added GPU hotspot sensor to graph. Due to space constraint the newly added graph overlaps with existing ones. The graphs works as usual at the beginning but after I play game in fullscreen after a while (long enough to exceed the graph's duration I guess) and go back to desktop, I observe:

1. HWiNFO will stop responding
2. most graphs turn blank
3. on the task bar there are lots of HWiNFO windows that are opening and closing constantly

I feel like it could be either something with my new GPU or overlapping graphs (the only two things changed for me) but hopefully the debug file provides convincing information.

The debug file is too big so I uploaded it to Google Drive.

Update: The issue happened again with 5 non-overlapping graphs. However after waiting for like 1 minute HWiNFO recovered from the choke. It seems to me it has something to do with graphs.

Update 2: Could it be related to auto fit? If I turn off auto fit on graphs they seem to be much more responsive.

Such number of graphs should be no problem to handle. I rather suspect some issue with the GPU/driver which has issues handling both the game and another background application with graphics.
Odd is the behavior in 3. point, this should be examined why and what exactly happens there.

Thanks for the response. I uploaded a video showing symptom #3 to the folder.
 
That looks as if something would be closing/restarting the graphs. Maybe the GPU driver did crash and is recovering? Check in Even Viewer if there's maybe some clue.

Pardon my ignorance. Do you mean windows event viewer or is there an event viewer in HWiNFO?
