Lightroom crashing constantly!

[rvamos]

Lightroom started to crash constantly since yesterday.  This behavior started out of the blue.  I have uninstalled and installed it again to no avail.  It crashes seconds after opening.  GPU is not activated.  Using macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on a Early 2009 Mac Pro with 3.33 Ghz 6-core Intel Xeon, 32 GB RAM, AMD R9 2GB video card.  I also tried installing previous versions of Lightroom (7.2 and 7.0) but it made no difference.  Please help!  What´s going on?

Hi rvamos,

Sorry that Lightroom Classic CC 7.3.1 is crashing unexpectedly on your MAC.

I've checked the crash reports you submitted(Thanks for these) and can see that it is related to an instance when remove a media device from your computer and the app crashes.

We are aware of this problem and identified this as a bug. Our Engineers are already working towards a fix.Please add your vote to this discussion Lightroom Classic 7.3: Unresponsive after Eject SD Card/USB Drive | Photoshop Family Customer Commun... and follow it to get updated on this issue.

Keep submitting the crash report via the Crash reporter console, it really helps us identifying the root cause of the crashes. Refer Submit a crash report for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom​

Akash, thanks for the reply.  However, my issue has nothing to do with ejecting an SD card or USB drive.  I do have a WD external drive attached to one of my USB ports - its where all my photo files are.  Could this be the problem?

Thanks for your reply, Akash. However, my issue has nothing to do with removing SD cards or USB drives. I do have a an external WD hard drive attached to one of my USB ports - it´s where all my photos are. Could this have anything to do with the crashes?
