Once it crashes again, I'll get the log. But it seems that Amory thinks that it is completely synchronized with the network while Bitcoin Core still says that I'm 3 years and 18 weeks behind. It seems to be running alright for now. I'll let you know if anything changes.

Actually, it seems that it keeps crashing every few minutes. The Armory program, that is.
Can you post the log files?

I did as you said, and Armory still said the same thing, only this time it had a "Go Online!" button next to it. When I clicked this button, nothing happened. Some additional information that might be helpful is: I'm running Windows 10 and the specified datadir is K:\Bitcoin\Bitcoin
Oh, I forgot something. You need to then do the same thing to the shortcut for armory when you do this except instead of the option being --datadir, you do
Code:
--satoshi-datadir=

I forgot to add, that when I change the home directory and restart Armory, it says it is offline.
Try starting bitcoin core manually. Uncheck the option to allow armory to start up Bitcoin core automatically then start Bitcon Core manually. To start it manually with the data directory in another place, right click the shortcut to start Bitcoin Core and click Properties. Then in the textbox next to "Target" add to the end of the stuff in there
Code:
--datadir=
where is the path to the location you want the data directory to be. Then click OK and run the program from that shortcut.

So, the other day, I was downloading the Blockchain via Armory and when it stopped, I found out that it was downloading to my appdata folder on my main hard drive and it had filled up. How can I change the location of the blockchain to another drive?
If you go into settings, you can change the data directory of bitcoind and it will download the blocks to that other location.
