Media Encoder Freezing my whole PC

Question

I am using After Effects for Logo Animation work from Template. But when listing and exporting using Media Encoder Queue the it's freeze after 2/3/5/6/7 random times and once it's freeze, my whole pc getting freezes and then I don't have another way without Restart! I'm using 2025 version of AE and ME. Also, this problem just happening when I am selecting "MERCURY PLAYBACK ENGINE GPU ACCELERATION (OPEN CL)" but when I am selecting "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" then everything going perfect and rendering not freezing anymore but rendering time is slower because I know it's using CPU only now. But how can I fix it to use gpu encode? Do I need to through my Intel Arc to Dustbin and purchase a Nvidia card? Please give me a solution guys because I am suffering a lot for this!

My pc config:

i9 14900KF (Undervolted offset -50)

Gunnir Intel Arc A770 Photon (Resizable Bar On from Bios)

Two Stick of 6000Mhz Ram (total 64GB) Installed on 2nd and 4th number slot with intel xmp on

Asrock z790 Pro Rs ddr5

Arctic 360 liquid cooler (Max Cpu Temp 94 and average 88)

I have a Ryzen9 5950x, cooled by an AIO 360, 64GB RAM @3200, RTX3090founders edition. I get the same free entire pc when I render with GPU. Any updates for it?

I found out why my pc froze to death, when I render in Media Encoder: I have a adata xpg gammix s11 pro, nvme m2. And from the adata toolbox, I had "advanced optimization" on the OS Optimization, instead of Standard. I restored to the Standard Optimization and now I can render with no problem whatsoever. I hope this helps somebody.
