Premier elements destroying my computer! Blue screen

Blue screen usually means a hardware issue.

Try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site.

Try this:

1. Totally shut down your computer.

2. Start your computer.

3. Open Premiere Elements only (no other programs)

4. Load a video you've had success with in the past.

5. If everything is working up to this point, you probably had some kind of overload somewhere in your system.

6. Shut down and re-start your computer again (if #5 is ok).

7. Open a new video project and go through the steps to get to the failure point. (Keep all other programs closed.)

8. Save your project.

9. Move on if everything is still working to complete your projects.

You don't say which Windows operating system you're working on or which version of the program you're editing with, but that information could be relevant.

But you also don't say which program you're using to record your video gaming -- and that's more likely at the root of your problems. Premiere Elements is designed to edit camcorder and phone video, which use pretty standard codecs, resolutions, frame rates and other compression systems. Many screen recording apps use non-standard codecs, resolutions and variable frames rates, and these features can be murder for a simple video editing app.
