When I try to batch process a large number of files. Tried 5000-60000 converting to png, PS crashes after a few thousand files and I have to start over. Any advice?
Let me move this to the Photoshop forum for you, which is the appropriate forum for your question.
You will need to provide troubleshooters with additional information:
Make and model of computer
CPU chip
RAM
Video card and Video RAM
OS and version
Photoshop version

60,000 file in 60,000 output file out 120,000 files! How many hours do you think Photoshop will needed to process 120,000 files. If the batch process has any issues your machine is likely to run out of resources that photoshop will want to use.
Try to split files and batch into smaller chunks. 60.000 files is waay too much, even 5.000 is huge number for any app. You can use Bridge to move files into folders or to select and batch process selected files.
Why everything must be done in single step? Because we live in digital edge? At the moment, apps can not do anything and everything that we can imagine. If you are checking for possible bug in app then you have information, otherwise you have very high expectations.
Agreed, that is one option I was going to mention depending on the actual image adjustments required, which is why I asked the OP what they needed to batch.
If on a Mac and it is just conversion to PNG, then one could just look into SIPS:
