I inserted both sticks into the B channel slots, which resulted in a crash, as I expected. Then, I switched the RAM stick but used the same slot, which resulted in a crash, which I thought confirmed my theory but I wanted to perform further tests. The first time, I was finally able to fully render an HEVC video. I then performed a memory check, with no errors found and finally resorted to taking individual sticks of RAM out and seeing if something was wrong with them. dll file from a program I downloaded for a different project kept crashing right around the times of my renders, so I did everything I could to get rid of it, which took as a complete hard drive wipe to finally rid it from my system, only for the crashes to continue. I then checked the Windows Reliability History and saw that a. My CPU never ran over 65 C and my GPU never ran over 40 C. I tried to monitor both CPU and GPU temps while the render was occurring, but everything would crash before I could get any useful readings and when rendering to codecs that were successful, nothing seemed out of place. Both were successful over repeated test renders. First, I attempted to render to DNx and then to ProRes 422. After that, I tried with just a standard MPEG2 render, which finally finished the job. It sounds as if the PC is still running, but there is nothing being displayed and all of my peripherals are powered off.Īfter my computer crashed using HEVC I attempted to render with H.264 and just had Adobe Media Encoder crash, not my entire system. I get the video cut up just fine (I use Adobe Premiere Pro) but when I go to render it in HEVC my entire computer crashes to a black screen, no BSOD or anything.

I then re-assembled my computer and a couple weeks later had a video to edit. Recently, I decided it was time to dust out my PC (self-built) and re-apply thermal compound. It's as simple as cutting up some excess footage and synchronizing audio with the video.

Also, my computer was overclocked for the first crash, but every subsequent crash, it was not overclocked.īackground: I'm a freelancer that works for a lawyer in town and as part of my job I have to do some light video editing. I did, however get a perfmon report for good measure and have attached it.

Even so I made sure there weren't any dumps I could upload so I checked C:/Windows/minidumps and nothing was there. Just a quick preface: my computer crashes to a black screen, no BSOD.
