Blue Screen on Opening 2nd Project Where Proxies are Missing

[jaantalvet]

After removing proxies while making space on my system I experienced my first system blue screen. I've been editing on this system for 2 years. Premiere locks up once in a while, but not like this.

Steps to reproduce.

1. Remove proxies from your hard disk from Project
2. Open Premiere, then open Project B for editing. Project B uses Project B proxies.
3. Open Project A while still in Premiere. Last saved version of Project A referenced proxies.
4. Crash

It happened 3x in a row. Gave some sort of video error. To solve, I recreated the proxies using Media Encoder. Then I was able to continue working. I would have expected Premiere just to notify me that proxies were missing. I also updated my video driver since the issue, so it could have been related to last year's drivers. Sorry I didn't pay better attention to the old driver version or bluescreen error - I had a deadline to meet and the bug report was an afterthough (though I did submit the crash report)

Hi, Jaantalvet,

Sorry. As an initial troubleshooting step, can you try downgrading GPU drivers to 517. xx? This has proven to help some people with general problems and version 23. Please let the team know if it helps or not.

Thanks,
Kevin

Sorry for the delayed response. I downgraded to 517, and the first thing Premiere did on a freshly rebooted system, with no browsers or other apps running, was lock up the entire system. Would downgrading to 2022 be the next step to try?

I made sure to check what the error code was during the most recent bluescreen. It said, "VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL"
