I have been a loyal customer of Adobe for many years, however, I have been suffering crashes in Lightroom whilst import, editing, backing up and at random other toimes since March. I have had Adobe Support Agents blame my system with not enough processor speed, its an I9, not enough memory I have 96gb, video card, SSDs et al, they have sone 3 clean installs then expect me to recreate the error instantly, one day I was able to do it and was told my copy of Windows was bad, I use Win 11 Pro and there is nothing wrong with it.
So the challenge here is for an Adobe Support person on the forum to try and help resolve the issue before I cancel my plan and move to a different editor. So the ball is in Adobes court, I await a response.

This community is for Adobe customers to communicate with one another, to share ideas, problems, and bugs. To assist one another. This site is not an actual Adobe Tech support site. Oh, several Adobe sites will point you to it, but that is just Adobe being lazy, hoping that other customers can help. Actual Adobe employees rarely interact in these communities.
So, I would not hold my breath waiting for Adobe to respond.
That being said, perhaps some fellow members can assist.

Ok, from your attached screenshots:
Did you fill out that Error report with a description of what went wrong, and send it to Adobe? (I do see that you filled in your e-mail)
One way to get Adobe to pay attention is to fill out that report and send it to Adobe. Oh, and cross your fingers, having the word Error Report in a reply might just grab the attention of Adobe. They just love to come back and state that they have not received an Error Report.
If you did not, and if it comes up again, fill it out, perhaps using your above posting. And include in the text a link to this Discussion.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.
Sometimes hat info will give a clue as to what is going on. And this is a very common inquiry in this community. Some when posting will include this by default.

its an I9, not enough memory
Would that perhaps be a 13th or 14th Generation Raptor Lake Intel CPU?
If so, do you:

In that screenshot where all those gray or blank grid view previews, filmstrip previews, Navigator, and Histogram panels are shown. I wonder if your LrC preferences file is corrupt. Have you considered resetting it? Did the Adobe Techs mention that?
Mind you, I just now noticed the three dots in the thumbnails, indicating an issue creating the previews.

Looking at your crash report, it appears you have two active GPUs in your system.
I recommend disabling the GPU Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770 and using only your AMD Radeon RX 580.
Multiple GPUs - especially when one is woefully underpowered - are a recipe for conflict.

So an AMD and LrC issues. including crashing. I do not think this older AMD is included but see the AMD Adrenalin Presets/Settings issue described in the following links. Apparently the AMD software was treating LrC as a game, applying some settings that were incorrect:

Built-in memory: 98075.8 MB
At first glance, that is such an not normal amount of RAM. But I take it, that you have 2 sticks at 48 GB each??
Now, I would think that if their was a RAM configuration issue, then problems would occur outside of LrC, not just in LrC. Those possible issues being non supported RAM on the Motherboard, and RAM in the wrong slots.
So just to check, the specific RAM you have, it does show up on the computers (Motherboard) tech support site as supported?
And if their are four slots, for RAM, are you then inserting two sticks (or is my math wrong) and in what slots (some people stick them in adjoining slots, wrong, check the Motherboard manual)

Over at AMD Windows Store v31.0.21921.1000 is shown as current. Not much newer than the one you have, so probably not the issue, but you might want to check. Release notes do not address anything for Adobe much less LrC,
