Crashes after a few seconds or few minutes (Windows - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti)

[Johnny CC Video]

over the past few weeks, Premiere Pro crashes. It's never happened before. The program opens and sometimes it will stay open all night, and then, like today, it crashes within seconds. 

I use Windows.

I did do the latest updates and this is when the problem started. 

I have updated the graphics driver

No other programs crash. only premiere pro.

You need to update your graphics card driver, its too old.

Go to the nvidia site and download the Studio driver.

Do a manaul clean installation.

How old is your computer?

Which Premiere version and build are you using.

Hello @Johnny CC Video,

Thank you for filing this bug report. I am sorry for your frustration with Premiere Pro crashing. The team may need more information from you. See: How do I write a bug report?

You could try troubleshooting by choosing Project Settings > General and changing the Mercury Playback Engine to Software Only mode. Let us know what happens after you switch the GPU off.

If you are still crashing, you might try deleting the media cache and resetting preferences. These are available in the Reset Options dialog box. You can access Reset Options by pressing Shift at launch. Let us know if that solves your issue.

I hope the community or the team will provide a solution shortly.

Thank You,
Kevin

I tried changing to Software Only mode and it do not have an affect. Editing is backing up fast and desperately need to resolve this.

I appreciate any other help you can offer.
