Your question is very generalized and can have any of many reasons why it crashes, without proper info (remember that we cannot see your screen to guess the cause) - some causes might be Incomplete Transactions, Corrupted Log Files and so much more...
Without specific details about your database creation process and the exact error messages you are encountering, it's challenging to provide a precise solution.

This design sound like a disaster waiting to happen - oh wait it has happened.
What possible reason would you create a new database for every months data?
I'd wager that the 50 column table is not normalised, leading to a myriad of problems down the track.
As to why the database falls into recovery mode, the Great Ghu only knows but given the above issues it is the least of your problems.

As has already been pointed out to you, that design is a bad idea. See SQL Server: The Problems of Having Thousands of Databases on a Single Instance[^]
It's bad for lots of other reasons too. Say you wanted to produce some MI for an entire year's worth of data for your application. You would have to query 12 separate databases ending up with something like
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB1.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB2.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB3.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB5.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB6.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB7.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB8.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB9.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB10.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB11.dbo.MyTable
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM DB12.dbo.MyTable; And did you spot my deliberate mistake?
Even if you have a new table in the same database each month it doesn't really get any better...
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable01
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable02
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable03
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable04
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable06
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable08
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable09
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable10
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable11
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable12; But introduce a Date column into your table and suddenly your code becomes so much clearer
SELECT Col1, Col2, YEAR(MyDate), MONTH(MyDate) FROM MyTable; Next steps are to look at normalizing your single table - see Database normalization description - Microsoft 365 Apps | Microsoft Learn[^] for some starters.
Address these sort of problems first, to take some of the heavy lifting off your SQL Server instance and you might very well cure what ever it is that is going wrong for you.
Failing that you are going to have to examine the Windows Application log to find out more - View the Windows application log (Windows) - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn[^]

My guess is that it would be due to how you 'create' it.
Certainly if you start with a clean install of SQL Server (just the normal install databases) and if you run you app and it impacts that database, then yes it is specifically how you are creating it.

The SQLite documentation says that SQLite is thread safe for reading but not for writing. Specifically, they say you can have multiple threads reading from the DB, but only one thread should write at one time.
Do you think this means that I should also avoid two threads accessing the DB at one time if one of the threads is reading and the other is writing?
IOW, does reading need to be serialized as well?

It's "rereads" that are (usually) the problem. If one is writing, and another reading, one for one makes little difference; if the record aren't related. On the other hand, if you're not writing "complete" records at one time, then they have to be "locked".
For "rereads" you have to check for "dirty" (e.g. timestamp changes). "Screen data has been updated".
With related records, you may need need to lock a table or the entire DB (for a very short time).
All calls should be async to avoid UI waits.

Well that seems related to the issue that I'm encountering. Occasionally I'll receive a "Access denied - Database locked" error message, and I can't understand it because all of my writes are synchronized around a single mutex. So I thought maybe I can't read either when a thread is writing to the DB.
It's an INSERT statement that's receiving the Database locked message, so the only other thing I can think of is that there's something wrong with my threading code and it's actually attempting two writes at once.

An insert implies an index update; or a "split" somewhere. A simple append might be different.
In effect, the "internal" state becomes dirty. Because it is "lite".

I'm pulling my hair with this one:
(There's a unique index on the [DOMAIN] field.
INSERT INTO DNSLOG ([DATETIME], [DOMAIN], [BLOCKED]) VALUES (133436157350078746, 'optimizationguide-pa.googleapis.com.', 0)
ON CONFLICT (DOMAIN) DO
UPDATE DNSLOG
SET HITCOUNT = HITCOUNT + 1
WHERE DOMAIN = 'optimizationguide-pa.googleapis.com.' The error is clearly in the ON CONFLICT clause because when I run only the INSERT clause, it does what it's supposed to do. And the UPDATE statement works when I run it by itself.
The actual error message is "SQL Logic error near "DNSLOG" syntax error".
Any idea what the syntax error could be?
****SOLUTION****
It's not supposed to have the table name in the "DO UPDATE" statement. IOW:
INSERT INTO DNSLOG ([DATETIME], [DOMAIN], [BLOCKED]) VALUES (133436157350078746, 'optimizationguide-pa.googleapis.com.', 0)
ON CONFLICT (DOMAIN) DO
UPDATE SET HITCOUNT = HITCOUNT + 1
WHERE DOMAIN = 'optimizationguide-pa.googleapis.com.'

I would like to have a blank database already written. The list is for monthly entry and exit. Thank you all

Here is a simple table for SQLite:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Times;
CREATE TABLE Times (
Name TEXT,
TimeOn TEXT,
TimeOff TEXT,
);

Unfortunately using a database is not simple. A post here is unlikely to be able to provide all of the information.
There are tutorials that will explain how to set up a database, then create a schema and finally create a table in that schema. I suspect that is what you want.
You would need to first determine what database you are going to use.

I am pretty new using MS SQL. I perform a query over some SQL server table; it returns a record set; but I need to read the last record just to get the value of a certain column.
This is my procedure:
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>$myDB, "UID"=>$myUser , "PWD"=>$myPass);
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $myServer, $connectionInfo);
$query = "SELECT * FROM( SELECT col0, col1, col2, col3 FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.col1 = t2.col1 LEFT JOIN t3 ON t1.col2 = t3.col2) AS t ORDER BY t.col0; ";
$rec_set = sqlsrv_query($connection, $query, array(), array("Scrollable" => 'buffered'));
if( $rec_set === false ) die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>$myDB, UID"=>$myUser , "PWD"=>$myPass);
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $myServer, connectionInfo);
$query = "SELECT * FROM( SELECT col0, col1, col2, col3 FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.col1 = t2.col1 LEFT JOIN t3 ON t1.col2 = t3.col2) AS t ORDER BY t.col0; ";
$rec_set = sqlsrv_query($connection, $query, array(), array("Scrollable" => 'buffered'));
if( $rec_set === false ) die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
$row_count = sqlsrv_num_rows($rec_set);
if ($row_count === false) die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
$reg = sqlsrv_fetch_array( $rec_set, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC, 0);
$first = $reg['column_name'];
$reg = sqlsrv_fetch_array( $rec_set, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC, $row_count - 1);
$last = $reg['column_name'];
It is clear that the sqlsrv_fetch_array DOES NOT work like that. Does anyone know how to achieve my goal, that is, getting last and first records from that record set without generating another SELECT?
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried:
SELECT TOP 1 COL1 FROM TABLE ORDER BY COL1 and then
SELECT TOP 1 COL1 FROM TABLE ORDER BY COL1 DESC

No. The problem here is that I have worked with mysql/postresql and I can retrieve from a recordset any record I want depending on its position in the recordset. So when you have: $var = pg_fetch_result($recordset, $k, 'col'); you are retrieving the 'col' value in the k-th record from that recordset (in PostgreSQL). You can do the same in MySQL. I want to achieve the same in sql server... I have noticed this parameter en the fetch of sql: SQLSRV_SCROLL_LAST in the row parameter of the sqlsrv_fetch_array(resource $stmt, int $fetchType = ?, int $row = ?, int $offset = ?). But for some reason I can not make it run.

Add a "row number"?

Kar_Malay wrote: database corruption
The term "corruption" applies to the data that is stored by the database server and has nothing to do with valid/possible structuring of tables. Which your other two points would seem to suggest.
Preventing inconsistent data, orphans, etc is not something that anyone is going to cover in an online post. Buy yourself a database book or several (beginning and advanced) and read them before you start designing anything.
