Vegas Keeps Crashing, even with 1080p Clips!

Greetings!

I built a new system to edit 4k, but I can't do more than 5 minutes of work without clips going "red screen", "green screen" or just black, or often a complete full freeze. The thing is, the project I'm working on just has 1080p and 720p clips with no VFX! My last system was 12 years old, also running Vegas, and could handle some complex VFX. I have no idea what's causing this, my system should be handling this, and even 4k with no issues. I must have a setting wrong or something. Here's my system info:

Vegas Pro 20

Windows 11 Home

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core

32GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060

Any advice would be very helpful, thank you!! -William

Try the newest studio driver for the RTX 2060.

Can you share MediaInfo for the media you are using? Is it HEVC? Instructions

Thank you for responding! The media in this project are all MP4, most of which are 1024x576 12fps (strange size... They're AI animation videos)... But I seem to have this issue with anything so far. This is my second project since upgrading my computer and Vegas, and the other project had MP4 and MOV shots from a Blackmagic Camera, all 1080p, and still had issues. I'll try updating the driver, thank you!

Update: Most of these particular clips are AVC 1024x576x32

1024x576 is PAL SD 16:9 square pixel size. Where did the files come from?

@William-Wall Please post full Media Info as per RogerS's post as this may help work out what your problem is.

They're AI generated clips from kaiber.ai ...I misspoke when I said they were 720p. I just knew they were small!

UPDATE: I installed the latest studio driver and I haven't had an issue since... I haven't tried any 4k footage or anything yet, but so far so good with these low-rez clips! Thank you RogerS!!
