I didnt wait long before starting again. I checked if all processes stopped before starting the cycle over again.
Hope it gives you something to work with

Is there something you want me to test?
Can you compare bitcoind vs manual node stability? How often does the bitcoind method screw up out of 10?
Second time without bitcoincore started already didnt do anything. Processes were started but nothing happend. I had to kill the armorydb.exe process.
Followed your advice and started bitcoin core first, let it sync completely, started armory....
finished successfully! Balance correct!
Guess there are still some issues when running bitcoincore as daemon in the background ?

Start Armory without Core running, what do you get?
bitcoin core chain complete synct.
started armory with a empty database folder.
After some time:

For me it looks just like before, except I resynct the whole bitcoin core database on a new disk.
I also placed armory's database on a new disk.
What could be the problem here?
*will restart armory again

You shouldn't run the DB until the node is done indexing. The DB is tied to the file on blocks, so it will choke if you change the underlying files (like when reindexing). You have to delete Armory's databases folder or do a rebuild & rescan to fix this.
Bitcoin core still reindexing, but armory crashed on the way :

Still running 
I already did rebuild armory database a few times so I decided to move both (armory and bitcoincore) to another disk and try again.
To be continued...

oke, so you don't think it has anything to do with the bitcoin core database? (I started a 'reindex' 4 hours ago to be sure)
It could. It's just cheaper to rebuild Armory's DB from scratch to confirm than to nuke Core's DB, thus why I told you to rebuild.

Will start Armory and point to a new disk volume to see what happens.
Thx for your help so far!

Could the error "merkle root mismatch" have something to do with it?
This is indicative of a bad block of disk or a corrupt ArmoryDB. If a full rebuild of the DB yields the same issue (at the same spot), then your on disk data is corrupt.

(btw, I often notice armoryDB.exe runs in the background when I closed the armory client. It still comsumes alot of cpu and memory)
That's usually what happens after the running into a bad block during DB build.
Since I use the .2 test version it completes without crashing but...
After restarting several times it seems that it continuesly starts building the database again at 73%
Also, when the process finishes it shows the different blocks between bitcoin core and armory:

My balance isnt correct either.
