Same here. I'm getting random crashes for no apparent reason and I can't identify the cause. It's the first time I run into this kind of issue.

Either try to eleiminate all possible causes like Drivers, clean install etc. or simply roll back to the previous version using the STEAM Beta Tab for the time being.
Not really aware of increased hardware specs in a sense like when the minimum OpenGL was upped or the drop of Win7..could imagine tho that AMD GPUs don't play well -again- with new blender. The driver support from AMD, sadly enough for a top level blender sponsors, really was wonky for quite a while.

I have some troubles too but from Steam my Blender don't even launching, and if I'm trying to start it from local folder it shows error about "you don't have tbb.dll files, please reinstall the program" and more of like these errors after this. I've tried to launch with admin's rights and it showed me error -1073741502 (file system error) (im on Windows 10). Sooo yeah, pretty sad situation

But i will mark, that nothing of problems like this wasn't happened on 2.9-3.6 versions before. Maybe recent update did something ridicilous with system.

Haven't had much crashing during workk so far, but during rendering animations it tend to just pop out of existence at random. (not a massive issue if one renders to single images, but still very annoying if you miss that it stopped working)

what is your hardware if its old then this is normal roll back to 3.6 and use that they removed support for older cpus and gpu sadly

okay i found a way to fix it, to everyone else having the same problem, go to the official blender website and install older versions (3.6), also thanks for the assist @Mehrshad

To go back to an older version you can also use the STEAM Beta function. Right Click on Blender in Library -> Properties -> Betas

I guess I solved my problem (maybe not for clean 100%), with cleaning PC from viruses, refreshing the version of Windows i can now start Blender IF i'm launching it from desktop shortcut with admin rights, not from Steam page. Then I can work in program normally but then it doesn't count as using Blender through Steam.

Soooo, here some methods what can I recommend if somebody met up with Blender's launching problems through Steam, like I wrote before:

- Check your PC for viruses with quality antivirus soft, exactly not like 360 Total Security;
- Update your Windows version (in my case it was Windows 10). But I mean just UPDATE, not full restarting of your system and deleting all files after. If you have Windows, check Microsoft's official website for refreshing OS;
- Try to delete downloading cache from Steam in settings of Steam Client;
- Try to reinstall fully Blender OR install Beta version of Blender (like Stable 3.6, Archive 2.9 and etc.) and try to launch them.

Anyway, every problem case is individual, sooo keep trying and don't give up tho. Try as much possible YouTube tutorials, cleaning PC from trash and malwares, or as last method - call qualified specialist/master, or some of your friends/family, who can do something.
There is always exit in any situation, so don't give up those people who have troubles with it.
