Vegas 23 instant crash, no render

Hey there,

I purchased Vegas 23 a week ago and I am absolutely dissatisfied with it. So far it is really unstable, crashing in every 20 minutes or so.

Now (after rendering a video) I can't render another, because it does not start the process, instead it crashes and caused and I got the blue screen of death, after suddenly it started eating 30 gb ram out of nowhere. :)

What could be the solution to this case?

here is the report I got after a few tries:
