ArchiCAD 20 keeps crashing on OS X Sierra

Some days it will work just fine. On others, it will crash constantly. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

I ran the Apple Hardware Test and it turns out it is hardware related, but it's the RAM. In the processing of identifying which ones are bad and then going to replace them.

dcerezo,
I see you have a Geforce video card.
I know nothing about Macs but do you have a program installed called "GeForce Experience" by any chance.

I just had a PC that would not show the 3D view when something was selected (just a white or black screen) and then started to crash Archicad if we didn't switch bac to 2D quick enough.

In-installing that program fixed it.

With Geforce card just install the drivers and not all the other stuff for enhanced features.
