Premiere Pro crashing if I start export

Premiere Pro freezes up when I hit ctrl+m and try to export. I've tried the disable hardware acceleration checkbox trick but doesn't work. I found a workaround where I import the project into Media Encoder and select the sequence I want to export. But that takes a lot more time. 

Anybody have the similar problem or know what to do? I run a Dell XPS15 with i7 7700 with 32gb of ram and GTX 1050.
