Question

Premiere Causing Full System Crash

I have been experiencing major issues with premiere, causing the program to stop responding, and resulting in my entire system locking up with the only solution being to hard reboot my PC. I'm working on small projects (Social media clips under 1 min.) but the crashes keep coming.

 

I haven't found a specific action that causes the crash. Sometimes it happens when just attempting to view playback (even at 1/4 res.), sometimes it's when I pre-render, sometimes it happens when exporting. 

 

Here's a link to my system specs. All of my drivers and software are fully updated.  (Windows 10, Premiere 14.3)

 

I used the Adobe Cleanup tool to completely wipe premiere from my system and did a clean install but the issues persist. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Edit: Because I'm forced to reboot the system to access anything on my PC I don't have the crash logs.

What type of media?

Try using proxies:

I work with twitch clips. 900p upscaled to 1080p in premiere. Typically under 50MB. Other than that just simple After Effects animations. Here's an example video.

Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot the properties of your media in tree view:

If the file is variable frame rate, which although Adobe says it will support, many users are having issues with VFR.

Use Hand brake to convert to constant frame rate:
