I really would suggest changing Update to 1000 and all UpdateRate to say 10. Then save the skin and restart Rainmeter entirely.
With an Update of 1, and an UpdateRate of 1, you are telling the ping measure to go out to the the 6 sites once a millisecond. This is basically bringing Rainmeter to its knees and within a couple of seconds hanging the measure(s) and then crashing. Rainmeter, or any other process, cannot possibly stay ahead of any requests that are attempting to happen once a millisecond. That is a guaranteed recipe for hanging/crashing Rainmeter.
The very lowest practical value for Update is 16. Never use anything less than that, and in general, never less than 1000 unless A) your skin really needs it, and B) you know what you are doing.

You are telling it to do so 1000 times a second.The default update rate for a ping command is typically once per second across most operating systems, meaning it sends a new ping request to the target server every second.
