Why does the Finder stop responding or restart itself regularly?

I'm using the late 2013 iMac. I upgraded to Mavericks on the day of release.

However, now the Finder regularly stops responding or closes and launches itself again immediately.

I have a Buffalo NAS connected for both file storage and Time Machine.

How can I solve it?

Does deleting the .plist file work?

Thanks.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Do you have Google Drive installed? Lots of reports that it's causing spontaneous Finder restarts. If so, uninstall it and test.
