Exporting a video via Media Encoder (and also Premiere Pro) crashes

Hi!

I made a video that I really want to upload to youtube. Its 120 fps and took me a long time to record and finish editing. 0 problems when editing and saving etc. I even was able to export a 5 minute long video of the same project a while ago. Since then, it keeps crashing in media encoder and also when I try to export it in Premiere Pro. Quicktime does work, but it ruins the color and I dont believe theres anything I can do to fix that. I tried rendering it in a lower FPS (60) and that also crashed. Its also good to note that it doesnt crash at a certain timestamp. It just crashes randomly. Sometimes instantly, sometimes after 3 min etc. I tried a lot of things and I’m truly lost. Other videos export easily so there shouldnt be anything wrong with my Premiere Pro or Media Encoder. I use Premiere pro 2024 and Media encoder 2024. I use H.264 and Adaptive High Bitrate (I also tried all the other ones like high low medium etc) My Specs are also good enough to render this (MSI GeForce RTX 3080, 13th GEN i7 13700K) Please help 🙏

    Try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of a Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).
