game keeps crashing

every time i join a survival world, anyone survival world, including mine, it always keeps crashing a few minutes into the game, so it doesn't let me do anything. but when its a creative world, and a live game with other people, it never crashes and i could play for as long as i want. please tell me what to do to solve this issue because i really would like to play in a survival world without the game crashing all the time.
