Although I wasn’t able to ‘solve’ the problem I was able to work around it, however it took all night.

Because it only stops on individual layers I figured there would be less chance of it stopping if I had less layers, in the end I had to render my comp 4 layers at a time and import the avi file back into the comp so that 4 layers became one. After doing this enough times (LONG) and purging a lot it finally started cooperating and I was able to render my final project flawlessly.

If anyone has a quicker way please post it, PLEASE, I’ve been around and no one seems to have the definitive solution for this dumbarse problem.
