I am having problems exporting a 2 hour long video

>Is my computer hardware the problem or is it user error.

Without details nobody here can even guess at a cause

Going to a black screen MAY be a video driver problem

Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter

-for all Adobe programs use the STUDIO driver, not the GAMING driver

-testing against multi-app creator workflows and multiple revisions of the top

If you have a laptop you MAY also need to check for a laptop specific nVidia driver
-SOME laptops require an approved driver from the laptop company, not nVidia
