AMD Ryzen 9 and Pro Tools

Help (Software)

This question is directed to any fellow Pro Tools users. I just built my first AMD machine after getting fed up with Intel's heat-loving CPU's. Went from an i9 13900k to a Ryzen 9 9900x3d and so far couldn't be happier with the difference. There's just ONE catch that I haven't been able to fix yet. I use Pro Tools for audio production/recording/mixing/mastering in my home studio. Pro Tools isn't officially supported for AMD CPU's but people have been known to still be able to run it regardless in the past. But I haven't been able to get it to startup since the new build so I thought maybe it had something to do with me switching to AMD. It'll go through the startup process up to the point where it asks me to choose my audio interface (which for me is a Prism Lyra 2 for those familiar). After I choose it, the DAW shuts down without an error message. Simply inexplicable. I'm already trying to get help from Avid but I thought I'd ask here too to increase chances of hope.
