What is crashing PP - understanding dmp file

B.T.W I just discovered this new NVIDIA software:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/

still in beta but maybe its somehow better than the old one so I am trying it (there was a new studio driver released a couple of days ago - I don't see any major bug fixes so I don't think its going to change much).

I have the latest studio drivers and as far as I can tell the latest intel GPU drivers for my Z790 board.
I also followed these instructions:

Honestly, this is a video that Adobe should have posted and not some random guy on YT...

I feel that you are trying to find out if this is caused by some elements in a particular project and I am almost 100% sure it's not.

These crashes/BSOD and freezes have been happening to me for weeks with different projects (no shared files) that I started from scratch so the problem in my view is systemic and requires a deep dive into my system - either some testing of my hardware somehow (sadly I can't A/B test every hardware component it's too time-consuming and expensive so it needs to be done with some test software) or something to do with drivers...

Sorry, yes, I'm trying to confirm that your system is configured as described on that page. Sounds like yes.

>...so what does this tell me?

Not much, on its own, but it's more information that (along with results from the proposed 'shut off all text layers then bring them back one by one' test) helps narrow down the proximal cause.

Configured in what way? are we looking at the same page? the link you shared just talks about what drivers to install no configuration is mentioned unless I am missing something... 

The strange thing about these crashes/BSODs and software freezes is that they are not consistent. After I got the freeze I opened PP again and was able to render the previews - so what does this tell me?

Have you configured your GPU, as the guidelines page recommends? 

Broadly speaking, if you've had to forcibly kill any process during a given OS session, it's time to restart; you can no longer rely on that OS session.

Regarding fonts: There's no specific action indicated by the evidence, but text usage within your timelines (text layers, motion graphics templates) is good place to start looking.

If you disable/remove a given text item, do the crashes not occur? Perhaps disable all of them, and bring them back one by one?

I am not sure what "malformed or improperly registered" means in this context or how I can find out if this problem exists on my PC or how I can fix it....

I looked at the page for the GPU - I do not see not any specific information that can help me solve the issues I am having (PP just got stuck again last night when rendering previews - I had to use the "kill" option in Powershell as I refused to be killed in the task manager. 

I need actual answers - do A B C to find out what is wrong and resolve it...

>Can a missing font cause PP to crash?

No, but malformed or improperly registered (with the OS) fonts can. 

> what should I do now?

Follow the guidance on that GPU help page I posted.

Can a missing font cause PP to crash? (sounds very strange to me). 

I installed many missing fonts although I am not sure if all of them (at least I don't get a missing font message when I open the project).

OK so let's try and move forward to solve this - so we assume it's a GPU-related thing - what should I do now?

Any ideas Bruce?
