AME Render Failures (new)

Greetings.  I am a long-time AME and Prem Pro user and I have never, ever had encoding failures.  On slow computers, fast computers, SD, HD, 4K.  Never.   Maybe I have been lucky?

Anyway, working on several projects now and only queuing up 1 or 2 renders at a time.  And I usually don't do any heavy Premiere Pro work while rendering, but I might do something in there or in another program.  Now, it appears if I breath on the computer I get a failure.  In fact overnight I got one which I would have never expected as the computer was doing nothing else.

I can reset and re-render and it has worked but it is concerning.  These were 2 totally different projects, different media, etc.  What if the next time I can't get it to render at all?

I do use CUDA acceleration and of course if it continues, I know I can turn it off. I am using and i7-based windows 10 machine.

I am just wondering if there is something else "new" going on here with AME?  I know I have not run a project through AME for a few months.  I believe I am on the most recent AME as of a month or so ago, but I have gotten an error during a forced update of my Adobe Cloud app (another subject) so I cannot currently update AME if I wanted to if there is a very new version.  Besides, at least it works and I need to get several projects done this week.

I will try to get the Adobe cloud app working after that.  Went through the same hassle about a year ago.

Anyway, if I get the error again or can't get it to go away, just turn off CUDA acceleration and deal with the longer render times?

Thanks for any insight.
