Hello i am using premier pro 2020 latest version over Windows 10 fully updated. My machine is Lenovo y750 i7 7th generation 16gb of ram gtx 960m graphics card.

Problem i am having is even if i drop simple footage direct from camera timeline bar shows yellow colour after rendering frames it gets green and when i play this it gets pause after few seconds and it gets keep pausing over and over. I tried all optimization from blogs and YouTube and nothing is working so far. Even i i tried older version as well they have slightly less pause frequency but problem remains.

we need to know your source properties and your sequence settings.  Premiere has an awesome proxy workflow.  It can be a little tricky but once mastered it's great...

40 GB free is not much for temp files and system files.

What is the capacity of each of the drives?

There's your problem right there. You actually have, besides the OS SSD, a single 1 TB HDD that's been partitioned into three separate partitions. And the most used partition of that drive is also by far the absolute slowest partition of that drive! You see, no HDD can sustain high transfer rates throughout the entire disk to begin with. And when you partition that HDD like that, the maximum sequential transfer rate of the outermost partition is less than 90 MB/s (assuming that the maximum sustainable transfer rate of that given HDD is around 130 MB/s). And with that outermost partition so full, that transfer rate drops to less than 70 MB/s. And practically, that partition transfers no better than about 40 MB/s due to overhead from the controller.

 

Video editing demands high sequential transfer speeds to begin with. But a partitioned spinning HDD will only make an already slow drive even more sluggish.

What are the hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, and how full)?
