Hey all,

Installed 10.10.3 beta on my test box where I have an iCloud Photo Library of 8000+ photos (no migration from iPhoto) and it kept crashing every 25 seconds or so.

Upon inspecting the Console logs, I found that there was a Sandbox issue causing the kernel to dump the Photos.app process.

If Photos.app is crashing and in your Console.app you see a lot of these types of errors:

Code:
2015-03-02 8:19:49.000 PM kernel[0]: Sandbox: Photos(1677) deny file-read-data /Users/jarsenea/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/0113a6eeddedc122fce53869a5ce0260c16fd48654/IMG_3455.JPG

The fix is to simply rename your ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement folder. make a copy, do not delete.

This fixed the crashing for me
