Premiere becomes unusable with more than 2 items in project bin

[BoricPlace]

Any new project file I make becomes unusable once I add 2 items to it. With one item everything works fine but adding a second lags premiere like crazy and makes the timeline red. Sometimes it will crash after sitting unusable for a while. I have a project file I made a few weeks ago with 70+ items and I can still add as much as I want to it and it works like normal. I made a copy of this project because it seems to be the only one that doesn't become unusable but the duplicate file also breaks once I add another item. Only the original file works like normal. My system performance stays normal when premiere becomes unusable.
