Audition crashing entire pc on launch - fresh install

Setting up a new laptop which has been running fine for the last couple of weeks. Installed Adobe CC and Audition, and my pc crashes in a nasty way when I launch audition. 

Screen goes black, computer becomes non functional, occasional flickers and cursor appearing, but cannot do anything with the machine at all. Have to hold down power button to turn it off and reboot. 

Has happened 3 out of 3 times of trying to run audition. 

Computer is high end Lenovo laptop running windows 11, way above spec to run audition.
