Computer shuts down during render/prerender

This was not my original problem but it has occured before and I know it will occur again.
My computer shuts down for no reason when I try to render or prerender video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. From what I can tell it is a general issue with premiere that I am having. I have tried multiple video formats, multiple video lengths, and multiple rendering options and I am still getting random shut downs during rendering.
Here are some specs for my computer which is a laptop:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit OS)
Proccessor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.0 ghz
Ram: 8 gigs of it
Video: Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT
1 Hard Drive w/ 280 gb of space
As a recap.... My exact problem is that during the rendering or pre rendering proccess my computer simply shuts down as in it turns off.
I can also add that the computer does act strangely leading me to believe that theres some hardware or software incompatibility. While it is rendering I can hear the CPU fan pick up which is usually normal for any rendering application but what I noticed was that it doesnt stop speeding up. Its like if it was going into an overload and I can confirm that at its peak, the computer shuts down.
To add troubles... whenever I pre render any video and it succesfully renders.... Premeire will hang up really really bad if I try to play the pre rendered preview. In otherwords when you preview a video that it pre rendered it usually plays smooth and everything is fine. After I pre render something though and play it I can tell its locking up because the timeline bar is really jumpy and the video playback skips also.
This is the problem I would really love fixed. I usually have to button smash my keyboard until I lock premiere up and then once it unfreezes itself i can preview my work smoothly. This is however like a good 5 mins of my time trying to get the preview to play smoothly though so its really hurting how fast I can work.
If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I will be trying to run the same stuff on my older laptop and observe the results. I personally think CS4 is incompatible with windows 7.

If you have a recent nVidia driver installed, you might want to check to see if you have either of these two modules loaded - check in the nVidia console:
PhysX, or 3D Stereovision. If you have them, definitely disable 3D Stereo, and test. If no improvement, disble PhysX and test.
Also, try adjusting your Hardware Acceleration. If Max, set to Min and test. If Min, set to Max and test. If either helps, try incrementing up, or down, until it no longer helps.
Last, check your OpenGL settings. If ON, turn OFF. If OFF, turn ON.
It appears that you have a laptop. Is that correct?
Good luck,

I do not have a startup disk. I did try fsck (based on what I learned from your reply-thank you). This failed (fsck); here is the message:
** Checking catalog file.
Invalid key length

** Volume check failed.

I am sure this is an easy fix; I just have no clue how.

Computer shuts down during startup

Hey everyone,
it shames me a little to ask for help about computers because I am usually ok with doing this stuff myself.
This time, however, I cannot seem to fix the problem indefinitely.I need a laptop for school and cannot afford another so any help would be greatly appreciated!:
I will just point the facts out:
After a few years use (two) it now shuts down during (windows) startup.
I ended up cleaning the Heatsink/fan yet the problem persisted.
The model is a Toshiba Satellite A200-PSAF6A.
I am no longer under warranty.
The school techs cannot help me.
A few oddities that I noticed:
It starts up fine when the power plug isn't plugged in.
It starts up fine with the power plugged in only in safe mode.
Using CCleaner and Defraggler temporarily fixed my problem (for about 5 minutes or so).
I hope that you guys can help me. It's just annoying that I cannot fix this myself..
If any further information is required please just ask and I will reply with as much haste as I can under my current circumstances.
Thanks,
Norak.

During a "cold start" I may get up to the windows login screen and then it shuts down and restarts. (sometimes it doesn't make it to the windows screen and turns off to restart). Then it will start to load windows and the little bar at the bottom will be loading windows and then freeze. I would have to hold the power button down to turn off and restart. Then I start windows normally and it usually works OK, sometimes I have to do this step again, but eventually I get into windows. Then if I shut down and restart it starts up fine, unless I wait for it to cool down.
Since this started happening, I have reinstalled vista 32bit to out of the box condition and updated to the latest bios, to no avail.
Computer has always run hot since new, seems to have very poor cooling. But the fan operates, most of the time on full boar.
Do you think this is a software issue or a component issue, or cold joint.
BTW it will not shutdown at all if I keep the computer in the F12 key settings area,im not sure what this place is called, but you choose to boot from cd here.
Okay, this is weird and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with what I had mentioned earlier. I was having some issues with my DVD drive, it was rattling bad and the spin off time was off causing coasters on almost every blank DVD, so I had the thing sent in for a replacement. They put in a new DVD drive, checked the status of my BIOS (V 4.2 which I had all along) and returned the unit back to me sometime around April 22, 2010 -- ever since the thing was working fine. I'm not sure if the bad drive had caused the unit to work erratically.
Before it was sent in, the issue was of course with the DVD drive, the startup then shutdown problems, plus a whole plethora of other small problems which I didn't bother to mention on my first post. For instance; the illumination lights that controls the media -- sometimes they would not turn off when I shut my computer down. The light stays on even after the computer powers off and I'd have to unplug the AC power cord for the lights to completely shut off.
My initial problems with the laptop was:
Media lights won't go off,
DVD drive rattles very loudly and burns bad media,
Shutdowns during startups,
The screen housing would creak every time when I wanted to adjust the position (this happens when I adjust it slowly).
After they replaced the DVD drive, everything seems to work fine. It's been almost two months now and I haven't had issues with any of the above mentioned problems.

After installing Maverick on my iMac, the computer shuts down during boot up. Suggestion?

I installed on an iMac purchased new in January 2013 with full specs, the computer shuts down every time the desktop begins to load. I've reinstalled Maverick twice from Restore screen, all to no avail. I don't have any recent Time machine back ups to restore from because of external hard drive failure. Have a few thousand dollars worth of software on the computer that won't be replaced if not deactivated, so would hate to lose it all, but most of my data is in Drop box. Any suggestions?

Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD, selecting Disk Utility>Macintosh HD>Repair Disk to see if any repairs are needed.? If anything gets fixed/altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu. To do this, restart holding down Command + r (more details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 ).

Booting problem - computer shuts down during booting

I have run into a problem this morning after trying to download Yosemite. I have a Mid-2007 C2D iMac, that was running Mavericks very well this morning.
I tried to download the Yosemite update - but it kept getting an error message as it was trying to download. The computer became unresponsive, so I shut it down to try and reboot.
Now when I start my computer, I get a grey screen, with the Apple logo, then after a few seconds a spinning icon underneath, and then a few seconds under that a status bar. Once the status bar gets to about 25%, it goes away, and then the computer shuts itself down. Any ideas? Is it trying to install Yosemite, but can't find the files?
Any thoughts would be appreciated - thanks!

Hey bburkava,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iMac not loading up past the Apple Logo and spinning gear. The following resource may provide a solution:

Aperture quits, after I uploaded Raw files, the computer shut down during

I am using Aperture 1.5.6. 2j2.. I put in a flash drive in my lexar unit to upload raw files to a new project, I saw the thumbnails images were there, filled in all the information clicked upload.. left the room, came back and the computer was off.. Not sure why.. turned the computer back on and aperture opened, when clicking on the interrupted project, a window opens at the top of the screen for a second and then aperture shuts down, I did a png capture after several attempts to read and the message reads "project untitled 3 is in an inconsistent state, please wait while the inconsistencies are resolved". I can't delete the project because aperture shuts down as soon as I click on the project. What can I do to delete the project? also I tried to upload the images again and it wont upload and get this message, master did not upload, it keeps spinning, I tried another card from the same shoot and the same thing.. Is this a Aperture problem, or could the cards be corrupt from the camera? This was a paid shoot and I have another paid shoot, Tomorrow which I'm canceling until I find the problem.. Also how can I get my raw files off the flash drive? Help my photographer Friends.. I'm going to see if I can upload a card, with images that I know worked..
Oh one more this my Aperture library in on an external hard drive, I have had no problem so far,, until now, that is.

update.. I opened Aperture on my mac book pro, they uploaded fine, so I guess in the external Hard drive. But still my question remains.. What can I do?

My PC shuts down during render after CC update

Hello all,
I just rendered a video last week with no issues. I updated After Effects CC a few days ago and now my PC shuts off about half way through a render. It is only a ten second clip with very little effects in it.
I have tried different video formats and codecs, I also tried to render the project in Media Encoder and Premiere Pro...the same result. My system is fine and I was rendering videos no problem until this update. Can we roll back updates?
I can't get through to Adobe to get help so I am trying the forum. This video is due tomorrow so I will probably lose a lot of money and a client.

I do appreciate the suggestion, I thought about doing the same approach. I had to dumb down my graphics a lot to at least get the titles done in After Effects. I basically had to recreate my animation, add one effect, render, and wait to see if it shuts down. I was able to render all of the effects, particle systems, motion blur, and camera movements last week with no issues. I updated to AE 12.1 and now I can't render anything but basic applications.
I am now having the issue in Premiere Pro CC after it's update. I rendered out three one minute videos with no problem in Premiere Pro CC last night. I did some edits to a five minute video that I have been working on for a few weeks today, go to render, about half way through...shut down. I am sure that I will have to start another thread on that issue.
I am about ready to get out of Adobe and go to Autodesk for editing and compostiting if these issues keep happening.
Adobe Tech support claims that my PC isn't powerful enough to handle AE and PPRO CC, but I was rendering with both programs with no issues a week ago. There is no problem with my PC. I believe they have no answer to my problem. I may have to reinstall CC and not update, but I know that I need them for other issues in the programs. I am stuck and I have projects due.
Thank you for listening to my venting. I will update if I find a solution.

Computer shut down during restore now has just a blue screen

While I was trying to restore my computer to a previous point it must have overheated bc it shut down. When I noticed and turned it back on it said that it shut down to avoid over heating. It looked like it was booting up -which was a relief bc I thought it may be messed up... well, it is. It only booted to a blue screen. If I press esc. at start up I get a black screen that comes up with the following options:
start up options
f1 sys info, f
2 sys diagnosis, f9 boot device options, f10 bios setup, f11 system restore
I tried f11 only to be put back on the blue screen.
I havent tried any of the other options because I don't know what I'm doing and don't want to make it worse.
If I press f8 on start up to get to safe mode I only get a beeping sound.
I'm lost please help!

Hello amber3379,
I see that you are having start up problems with your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue.
I would first suggest trying the system diagnostic option "F2" when starting the computer. This will allow you to test the hard drive, memory, and run a start up test.

Computer Shut Down during Recovery "Now Rating System Performance"

Help needed.
I just did a recovery on my Toshiba M645 Notebook,
However during the end of the installation on the driver after finishing on "Configuring System", during the stage "Now Rating System Performance" the Notebook just Shut Down on it on.
After i on it again, it will prompt me whether to start on Safe Mode or Normal Window, Once choose, it will prompt me "Setup Window for first use" and bring me to "Configuring System" and "Now Rating System Performance" again.
Will appreciate if someone will tell me whether do i do a recovery again, or there is any way that i can overcome this situation.
THANKS.....

I have a Satelite M645-S407 that keeps shutting down. I recovered it to the factory setting using the recovery discs and everything was fine until it reached "now rating system performance" during recovery, at which point it shut itself off. I restarted it several times and it consistently does the same thing. It runs Windows 7. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Computer shut down during "Toshiba configuring system"

I did see a similar thread, but I didn't want to hijack it and my questions are a little different.
So first of all, I reformatted the computer to "out of box" factory settings because I had a virus, the virus can't get into this hidden partition right? (it was antispyware soft if that matters)
2.I closed the lid of my computer while it was doing the toshiba configuring system thing, and I'm on it now and everything SEEMS fine, but did that driver or whatever actually get installed? Will something go wrong down the road? Should I just do another reformat?
Thanks!

Shutting the lid down might have caused interruption on the process for the recovery.
But for "Configuring system", it may take multiple restarts because according to what Ive searched, the computer restarts upon completion of a software and do the same thing over and over until everything is installed.
oOo

Computer shuts down unexpectedly during operations

My computer shuts down unexpectedly during operations. The unit will run for about 20 minutes and then suddenly shut down for no apparent reason. When I try to reboot the machine it comes on and shuts down immediately. I have to wait 30 minutes to an hour before I can use it again. I am running windows 2000 as my OS and my motherboard is a K7 prom AMD. Can anyone out there help me? I am going crazy trying to figure this thing out.

Hi, I have the same problem. When windows (XP) starts loading it shuts down and restarts alone; sometimes it passes and loads complete but then after a while it shuts down. With the error free load option it is more stable but it also shuts down alone. I tried everyting that is on my hands: changed the agp to a pci VGA board, eliminated all other boards, flashed the Bios, changed the power supply, checked the Hard Drive, changed RAM, etc., etc. My conclution is that it has some relation with the VGA display but in the bios; if you use more graphics it shuts down.
My system is a 694D Pro-AR (MS-6321) mother board with Pentium III 1GHz, 768 MB Ram, Matrox G450 Dual AGP.
