Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
there are no exact steps as this issue occurs even in default blender file.
this might be a personal problem but it is a little bit frustrating as i am unable to continue on my work, so i kindly request to guide me to take appropriate steps to fix my issue

#106382

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
It usually happens within the first 20 or 30 seconds of doing anything. Moving around the space, panning, zooming, changing a material, anything. After about 20 seconds It freezes and I have to force quit.

#106378

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I'm able to get a few seconds of use when in Rendered mode in the viewport, but then the app will hang and I'll need to force-quit. When I attempt to render anything higher than HD I'll encounter a crash - This is at random, I can't duplicate it very easily.
