It could be that it is running out of memory. One efficient way to cut the memory use is to reduce the level of detail ranges and that way load less terrain into memory. You can do this trough Main Menu > View > Adjust LOD Ranges.

normally, it'd make sense to share your exact startup/runtime settings with the community so that we can try to reproduce your issue.
Apart from that, the best advice is to do a "factory reset" to ensure that all settings are using their defaults, and then incrementally re-add whatever options you'd like to use.

For instance, AI traffic is kinda infamous for causing some stability/performance issues, so that would be one of the first things that people usually try to toggle off in order to see if the problem disappears or not.

Beyond that, we won't be able to help you unless you provide us with more much information
Please don't send support requests by PM, instead post your questions on the forum so that all users can contribute and benefit
Thanks & all the best,
Hooray
