There's so little information here - it'll be pretty difficult to help until you provide more: Like *when* does it crash? I know OS 10.13.6, but is it PT2019.5? Hardware? Interfaces?

In the meantime, the usual troubleshooting steps apply:
Try booting PT with 'n' key held down to boot to the playback engine dialog and see if that looks correct.
Trash prefs (use the Pete Gates utility) and see where you''re at.

Did you try the “n” thing as suggested earlier? Selecting your sound card.

Could also be a hard drive issue.
