P: Opening images is restarting computer (macOS Big Sur)

Big Sur is killing my iMac photoshop experience. Freezes hard each and every time I try to use Camera Raw and Bridge then restarts the machine. The only thing I can do in Camera Raw is click open. It will not let me adjust any image without freezing instantly and then restarting the computer.  Bridge is completely useless and does zero after opening except crashing the OS and restarting the computer all over again. Photoshop is working fine now. But at first it was giving me the dreaded spinning beach ball every time I tried to use any tool. But that seems to have worked out now and is working just fine. My computer has 32 gigs of ram and a 3.2 intel processor and over 1 TB of free hard drive space. It is the old school spinning platter type of drive. Which after updating too Big Sur was really working hard even when at sleep for awhile but that seems to have worked itself out as well.
