Illustrator crashing repeatedly on week old computer?

Hi - I had a new computer last week and was delighted to finally be able to use Illustrator for the first time. However, I'm finding it is crashing every 10 mins or so... surely this should not be happening.  Everything is up to date and my spec is: 
Processor AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.2 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I am paying rather a lot for Illustrator each month and am very disappointed it is so unstable?  Anyone have any ideas how I can get it to stop crashing over and over again?  Help appreciated; please be aware I'm no where near a techie.

 

Thanks

    Hello, I am also having a similar problem. In my case I don't even need to do any complex calculations, all I do is open the application and hover my mouse over tools and application crashes instanly with an error report I've sent the report repeatedly to Adobe but no one reached me yet. It's been atleast 3 weeks, almost a month I've tried all online solutions, driver updates, re-installing but none of them worked for me. Leaving this comment here so I can be informed when someone replies. I hope we can find some solution that works fur us.

    Is it crashing right when you launch it? Or when dealing with certain files?

    If the latter: what are you doing with Illustrator?

    Hi Monika

     

    It opens fine.  It is when I'm going through the process of making a seamless pattern tile from several elements. So it has crashed at making a clipping mask, crashed at copying and pasting and aligning within a pattern, crashed at copying the pattern to a swatch, crashed at testing the swatch with a rectangle, etc.  I've sort of lost count.

    The last time it crashed I had to go to task manager to shut it down as it froze the whole computer.
