Unreal engine 5.3

Hi, I’m facing serious issues with ue 5.3 when it is started up for the first time. Once launched, i select the last project i was working on, it loads the world, and right after that it freezes my whole computer. The mouse stops responding, and even the task manager does’nt open. I am forced to force shut down my laptop every time. After the reboot, it seems to work normally. With regards to the model/level, nothing has been imported into the file yet. It’s just the plain basic setup you see when you first open unreal. Any ideas or fixes for this issue? Thanks in advance
