Photoshop Closing When doing Content Aware Fill

For the past 2 days, my Photoshop is crashing whenever I try to use the content-aware feature in Photoshop. It was working fine until the last update. When it crashes the work that has been done is not saved and I have to restart the entire edit. I am very frustrated at this point. Please help. I have had it happen I want to say 7-9 times, but I might be exaggerating the number - but that doesn't matter because it is consistently happening. It is not a computer issue - It is a gaming pc with more than enough RAM and processing speed that a program like this should not be crashing.
