I’d be ideal if you can fin a different computer to run things in, that way you test that for sure it’s the computer you are using. It happens to me, I have my computer at home and lots of times I get files from my home computer to my work computer and things behave differently and crashes happen, and it’s the same file, just different computers. Why? Because computers are computers, somewhere in there there is a zero or a one where it’s not supposed to be and stuff happens. So most likely the issue is computers in general, 99% of people use Blender happily, so hopefully you can resolve the issue without having to sacrifice the good software Blender is, with a great community behind it. Computers are dumb, this is why The Terminator just before shooting John Connor would just glitch out, we’d totally win the war with them in a day.
