Exporting crashes halfway through and I have to restart Premiere Pro

I don't know if anyone else has been having this issue, but I can't seem to find a solution for it in any discussions. For about a week my laptop has been struggling to export slow motion videos. I exported one perfectly, but now I am stuggling to ger through the rest. The export usually gets to roughly 50-80% of the way before stopping. When it stops, my laptop becomes noisier, and when I try to close Premiere Pro, it crashes. I have checked the task master on my laptop and it is using 100% of the CPU's power to export.

I have tried rendering all of the videos before exporting them, however this worked one time and didn't work for the rest of the videos that I needed exporting. Another thing to add if that when I cancel the export, sometimes it will come up that the video is rendering, but it will be 'rendering' for an extortionate amount of time.

I also tried minimising the size of the videos to the smallest that I could get them as a tester to see if it's the size that is the problem, however it still crashes, just a bit further the way through.

It would be much appreciated if someone could help as I use this software for work and I am now holding up work that should be completed.

Thank you 🙂

hi, your laptop is not suitable for video editing, its for office. But you can use some light software alternative for video editing out there.

######Raizen 7, 40Gb Ram, RTX 3060, Win 11 -- All of Software in the world are just tools. Buy it if it works for you :)

Hi, thanks for replying. I've had no issues when editing and exporting in the past on this laptop, albeit I know that editing is usually done on a larger software, even when I've had larger files and longer videos. I've only just bumped into the issue when trying to export the slow motion videos that are a low size. This is why I am so confused.

Thank you 🙂

You don't have enough free hard drive space.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how is that? The videos that I am editing and exporting are only 6MB, therefore I don't understand how this could be a problem. They are already saved in my system as Premiere Pro documents and I just need them exported as h.264's.

Thank you 🙂

Normally I would not give this advice, but please try to either store the source footage on an external drive (the fastest you can get, minimum USB 3.0, preferably SSD via USB-C) or render out to an external drive.

Curious: what type of slow motion footage is only 6MB?

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

Thank you so much for helping. I'm still learning about the internals of a computer so I'm not the best, but I hope the information below can give you an idea.
