Question

I have a 2016 15inch Macbook Pro. Im running Big Sur 11.5.2 and Lightroom Classic 10.4 whenever I export images it will shut down my entire computer. I have over 100gb of memory free so its not like its full.

 

Ive turned off the graphics card which is what I've read online and tried a million other things. Nothing seems to work.

Try logging into another account (you may need to make one), still crashing? 
Try starting up in Safe mode (hold down Shift Key when booting), still crashing? 
You might want to try running a free utility like Onyx: still crashing?

Shut down the entire computer — this is almost always caused a hardware malfunction or caused by a bad/corrupted/out-of-date driver. In the case of exporting images, it may be that the computer is overheating, and this happens because a fan or part of the cooling system has stopped working; and also can be made worse by having computer case vents that are blocked by dust or other objects.

Yeah Def tried that doesnt help. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Even using older versions (will work better briefly).

 

Also isn't overheating. Its very confusing wish I knew why this was happening. It has been going on for months.

Don't know what you mean or what you tried. I didn't suggest you try anything.

 

Also isn't overheating.

 

What is your evidence?
