My PC specs:
AMD Threadripper 2990WX - 32 Core
Cooler Master Liquid Cooling
64GB RAM Corsair
ZOTAC 1080Ti Graphics
Windows 10 Pro
Everything installed on SSD.
I convert MOV files to MP4 on regular basis. Conversion started to be a painful task when all of sudden while rendering my machine started freezing. Display goes off and system hangs. I switched my renderer to Software based from CUDA core. It solved the problem but only for a while. Now my machines freeze with display going blank even in software renderer mode.
Steps I have taken to resolve:
1. Updated the graphics card driver - still crashes - [NO USE]
2. Changed the graphics card to other alternate - Still crashes - [NO USE]
3. Ran memory test (RAM) - found no error - Still crashes - [NO USE]
4. Found my SSD working fine - no problem with SSD too
5. Also updated the motherboard BIOS - I am not sure about the relationship with AME - Still Crashes - [NO USE]
Nothing logged in Error Logs. I believe system hangs before anything could go into error logs.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I just picked up a heck of a computer and have the same problem with 64gb of ram. I did the RAM check and there were no errors. I've even set the RAM speed to its lowest settings and computer freezes up just like yours. I eventually removed 32GB of RAM and Adobe Premiere is now stable. I think there is something wrong with the Adobe product while using 64gb of RAM
{edit for bad grammar}

just a quick update. I swapped the 32gb around always only keeping 32gb of RAM while running Adobe Premiere and it is stable. wanted to put this in just incase someone was convinced that the original 32gb of RAM I pulled was bad.
Next test will be to crank up the RAM speed and try some overclocking

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try the same thing. If any one from Adobe is reading this post kindly comment on this. This is really annoying when you have some good hardware and still your production pipeline slows down.
Please do update on RAM overclocking results. Thanks!

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing all the system details. I appreciate all the steps that you have done to get the issue sorted. I'm here to help you now. I have a few questions which are important to isolate the reason for performance and stability issues.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Shivangi

Hi,
I will answer your questions in serial order:
Lately, I have found something which might be helpful to find the cause. When I try to convert the videos from a SSD drive it works fine. Its crashes only when I convert the videos that are on SD card. BTW I use SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB card. This has good read/write speed. So read/write speed should not be a reason for crash.
Please, let me know if you need any more information.

It is not recommended to do that. You should always work off of internal or external drives.
Copy the files from the SD card to your SSD.
What type of SSD, what size is it, and how is it connected?

Thanks for sharing the information.
I assume there could be permission issues with the SD card. Did you try the suggestion by @Peru Bob?

I have been doing this way. I copy the files to SSD and then convert. But copying such large data takes time.
Anyhow, but still it should convert the videos from any USB device.
@Shivangi What permissions are you referring to?

@Shivangi What permissions are you referring to?
I am referring to the read/write permissions on the SD card. I am not jumping to any conclusions. It is just an assumption as per the scenario.

I had this problem again today and I was converting videos from SSD drive. @Shivangi Is there any suitable solutions to this?

I see. Are you using any other application while using AME? If yes, then please try to quit all other applications and check how that goes.
Also, please share a screenshot of the memory usage from task manager while running AME.

When the crashed occured yesterday there was no other program running except AME. Now while I am rendering you can see the resources being used in screenshot above. I do have Illustrator, Photoshop, Excel and CorelDraw running simultaneously.
