Photoshop crashes every time I open large PSDs on my new Ryzen build

I recently built a Ryzen 7 5800X PC with 32GB RAM and an RTX 3060, hoping for smooth Photoshop editing. However, whenever I try to open PSD files larger than about 500MB, Photoshop just crashes without any error message. I’ve updated to the latest Photoshop version, reinstalled it, and even updated all my GPU drivers. Other apps handle large files fine, so I don’t think it’s a hardware issue. I also tried disabling the GPU acceleration in Photoshop preferences, but it didn’t help. Has anyone else faced similar crashes with large files on Ryzen CPUs? Could this be a memory or caching setting I’m missing? What are some troubleshooting steps I might not have tried yet to get Photoshop stable with big projects?
