I recently started getting errors when clicking a custom Ribbon shortcut (which runs a few macros)

The code involves opening, closing, saving, deleting workbooks, also copying to and copying from other workbooks

Code:
Description:  A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

The error above happens almost every time I open the workbook and run the code for the first time after PC restart. It causes Excel to crash, then I reopen the workbook, rerun the code and the error doesn't happen anymore. But it will happen the next time I restart PC and so on


Code:
Problem signature:  Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH
  Application Name:    EXCEL.EXE
  Application Version:    15.0.4420.1017

  Fault Module Name:    VBE7.DLL
  Fault Module Version:    7.1.10.38

  OS Version:    6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
  Locale ID:    1037


Additional information about the problem:

  skulcid:    1037

The error above happened a few days ago, for some reason I don't get that error anymore but I am thinking it might tell where the problem lies?

I only started getting these errors during the past week after I made some improvements in the code and added some more macros (all are run by clicking that custom Ribbon button)

What could possibly be wrong with my code or it has to do with Excel settings? Or how do I know what line in my code triggers the error?

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
I think you do not have a problem in a line, because the application just hang (AppHangB1) stooped working or probably slowed down and crossed some threshold time out limit
that is to say your machine is too busy for the job
or the macro has gotten too big for your machine

Thanks for the input
I forgot to mention the code includes downloading data through API
I'm not sure it's a slow down because it just gets stuck and nothing would happen until I kill the Excel process from the task manager
The second time I run the code it works without a hitch (taking 1-2 sec to complete)
This only occurs the first time I run the code after windows launch
