davinci resolve crashing while dragging items into timeline

Unfortunately a hardware upgrade isn't going to be in the cards anytime soon, unless it's something I can upgrade on my current trashcan (which as you know is infamously not very upgradeable). Here are the settings I'm aware of, please advise if you see anything I should change.

Let me know what settings are in question, I would love to be running optimally, regardless. This feels more like an error to me, I mean that my cache is clean and I can edit fine, but if I touch anything in that menu the whole app just dies immediately. Most of my previous problems were indeed tied to the cache filling up, and clearing it from time to time helped immensely. Well, my source files aren't too heavy (1080/24, mostly) and I got through a few projects with an expected amount of slowness considering my hardware. You can limp by with Optimized Media, but my opinion is that you'll be better off with either less stressful source files or upgrading your hardware (or both). I have run Resolve on a Trashcan Mac with dual D500's, and it's slow and tedious, particularly with large files. What cache settings are you using? There are some 'dangerous' ones available, particularly in the uncompressed options, and those will be slow on your system and require massive amounts of space.

Please let me know if you can see in the log what is causing this or anything I might try to get back to work. I think something may have gone wrong in that process because there is a constant error in the log 'failed to mark cache status, frame is out of bound'. I recently had to move the cache location because it was filling my drive, then after clearing it out to free up space again I moved it back. All the caches and optimized media are clear, all drives have plenty of space.

You can see how limiting this is, I can't get anything done outside the currently open timeline! I'm at my wit's end here trying different preferences. These commands are all causing an instant crash: The cache is empty and this happens across all projects, even if I create a new one. It is triggered by most timeline related tasks. I am suddenly having a problem with Resolve crashing constantly.
