Premiere Pro 14.8 Randomly Freezes Entire PC

[eyanh78000727]

I'm not entirely sure why this just started happening but I'll have any Premiere project open, maybe do a bit of work and randomly it'll freeze my entire PC, preventing me from opening Task Manager to close anything. Unfortunately, experienced 4 freezes in the past 2 hours, even tried reinstalling and still experiencing the issue.

PC specs:

- Windows 10 Home 64bit

- CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K

- 16GB DDR4 | 256GB SSD+1TB SSD

- GPU:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super

If you have an Nvidia card, change your driver, probably rolling back to an earlier Studio driver version. The latest Nvidia driver and perhaps especially on the Game Ready driver group is a potential cause here.

The same is true for me, I have an RTX 2060. I found a temporary solution, in video rendering and playback, disable GPU acceleration (CUDA)

You sir, have just fixed my problem, switching to Studio-ready did the trick!

I cannot thank you enough as it has been causing me severe stress and anxiety for the past week.

Excellent!

Hello. I am having the same issues. I updated my driver to the most recent Studio driver. Will you help me?

[AlissonRM777]

I installed NVIDIA STUDIO DRIVER, and it worked for me

[Kevin-Monahan]

Sweet!

Thank for you for all these replies. I'll try the Studio driver. I just finished a new build and was worried I was having major issues with my hardware. I'm getting freezing during every Premiere session on brand new parts:

RTX 3080

Intel 10850k

64GB DDR4

This stuff is ridiculous completely crashing my computer...

i 7700k

twin 960 evo nvme ssd's

860 ssd for cache files. 

gtx 1050ti

I was running fine months ago now it's crashing on both drivers. 

Bad QC

Edit to my other post...

I rolled back to a pre rtx studio driver

I also rolled back to premiere pro 14.5 and media encoder 14.5.

it exported via media encoder with no issues!! Try that other people having issues. 

Go back to RTX Studio drivers and premiere! The good old days of not having any issues exporting

Hope this helps someone. It was driving me absolutely bonkers. I knew it was time to rebuild my pc but man that was so stressful. It crashed when i was done editting a video and for some reason didnt save all my edits!
