If I go to File > Open (or just "Open" from the Welcome screen) the file dialog pops up and appears to scan for files. At that point, very frequently, I get a BSOD due to kernel panic. It's been doing this since the 2019.3 update. I posted to support (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360006732560-Since-upgrading-to-2019-3-the-Open-Project-button-causes-Windows-to-BSOD) but they just said check your drivers. I ran BlueScreenView but that just placed the blame on the kernel, not any particular driver. I upgraded my graphics driver (AMD Radeon R5) and STILL it does this. I work around the problem by using Toolbox to open projects, but that's no help if it's a new project or one I haven't used in a long time. Please, please tell me I'm not the only one to have experienced this!

Windows 10 user, by the way, on a Dell if it matters.

EDIT: Okay, I may have found a workaround. I read this thread at support (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206600305-Open-File-or-Project-dialog-window-unresponsive-with-Very-Large-directories), and while the issue posted about is not identical to mine it's similar enough. Someone suggested adding this to your personal idea.properties file:

idea.chooser.lookup.for.project.dirs=false

Did that, and it hasn't crashed since. Mind you, though, it's only been a day, we'll see.
