premiere pro freezing during render

[default1lbdbmxtkdk0]

I've been trying to export my premiere pro project in 4k and everytime sometimes its at 9% or 18% my render process just freezes or sometimes my entire computer just freezes, this isn't the first time i've rendered a project in 4k I am very confused on why this is happening

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work,try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Hi thanks for the solutions but unfortunately none of them worked for me, they all exported until around 9 minutes then just froze and one or two times my entire computer froze not just media encoder.

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

Thanks so much, I am currently trying out the first solution where you clear media cache here is the list of my full computer specs:

Hey did you manage to fix this issue? I'm having the same problems and need to render my project out ASAP!

Having the same issue in Adobe 2023. Render just hangs middway...

I'm having the same issue and I'm only trying to export 1080p and the video is only 5 minutes long. I have 12gb of RAM that seems to be maxing out in the performance monitor. I render immediately after restarting my comuter.

I moved the project to a Macbook with 32GB of ram and it won't even get started. I will try creating a new project.

Hi!

You should move it on a desktop and try again.

Thanks

Had the same problem creating previews... I noticed I only had 100 go of disk remaining... I increased to 200 and rendering completed without problem. Mine also dropped or froze at same point after multiple efforts... it needs free disk space.
