Davinci Resolve 16 keeps crashing every 5 minutes

I used to use Davinci Resolve a lot but I haven't used it for a while. A couple of minutes into my project, Resolve stops responding and loses me all of my work. This happens a couple of times and I install the newest R16 version (16.2.8) and carry on from there. Same thing - max. 5 minutes of work and crashes when I do normal things (click on a clip, cut a clip, etc.). Even when I try to play it, it simply won't playback. The play button turns orange, but I am stuck on one frame even if I move my playhead. No sound at all. This all happens about 20 seconds before not responding. This is really frustrating as I just need a ~30 second clip edited together by Friday, which is such a simple task that I simply cannot perform.

I tried saving every action I do but I can't do many actions without it crashing anyway, so that doesn't help much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I looked on the forums and have not found a solution for this, so help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 with the latest game-ready drivers, i5 9600K unoverclocked, 16GB 3000Mhz RAM and a Samsung 860 SSD. Logs are attached as a .zip file.
