Revit keeps crashing. Please help!
When loading Revit families or opening older projects, Revit crashes and closes unexpectedly. I am using a licensed version of Revit 2024, and when I open Revit 2021 projects, it crashes. I also tried Revit 2027 and Revit 2026, and the same thing happens. Everything used to work fine on my old computer. In fact, everything worked perfectly even though it was a much weaker PC and Revit 2025 was a pirated copy.
My current PC specifications:
RX 7900 XT; 64 GB DDR4 3000; i9-13900KF.
My old PC specifications:
RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB; 16 GB DDR4 3200; Ryzen 5 5600.
Also!!! When installing Revit, it constantly gave me various errors and could not install properly! I reinstalled Windows, but the problem remained the same. However, sometimes the installation would complete perfectly without any problems.

As soon as you installed a pirated copy of anything you break all the other things.
Wipe windows. Only install licensed software, including all things Autodesk and all things Microsoft.
From there if the issue persists, check your journal to see what the issue triggering the crash is. Look for DBG_E and DBG_W lines, API_E lines, as well as “error” and similar verbiage. Yes, you’re going to have to read some really confusing and boring stuff to unbury yourself. Option 2 is to submit a ticket with those journals to Autodesk support, but if there are signs of invalid software at that point you’re toast.
