App Randomly Lagging and Shutting Down

[ElektricHeart]

Hey, I've been using Premier Pro for a about 2 years now and this is the first it's ever done this. About a week ago I edited a video and it worked perfectly, but a few days later I opened the program and it was extremely lagging and anywhere from 3- 5 minutes it just closes the program with no error code. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, checking for updates, removing excess files from the computer; nothing is working to fix it. The computer I have is HP Spectre, Inter Core i7, 16Gb RAM

What are the hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

I wasn't sure what classified as a hard drive so I did my best to figure it out.  Intel Optane H10 with SSD 1TB Optane_0000 SSD. It States out of the 1TB I have 703 Gb Free, So 248gb Are being used.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
