Usually quartus would not crash with just add file or IP to project, seems to be me it could be a bad installation.
Here are troubleshooting steps that you may check:
1. Before you download and install the software, please check that your machine system must meet minimum Hardware and Software Requirements. Ensure that your Operating System is supported. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/current/system-requirements-and-prerequisite.html
2. Check that the disk space is sufficient for the installation of the Intel FPGA software.
3. If you are running antivirus software, try to temporarily disable the antivirus software during the Quartus Prime software download and installation process.
4. Install with Administrator privileges.
5. Try to re-download the Quartus .tar installation package and install again.
6. Check that the installation files .tar is not corrupted by checking the checksum.
