Get G-Spot and MEdiaInfo, both freebies, and analyse your MP4 and MOV. Bring the results back here.

[Sam McKenzie] ” I’m sure most other people have similar problems.”
Not here.
Within Preview:
And not on the Timeline:-
Do try some other Media and report back here.

Render a small sample of your image sequence to something simple. Try a simple AVI. Bring that back to a NEW project Timeline and report back here.

[Chris Standring] “Well I found the problem. It was heat after all.”
Yeah, when I posted my series of “Checks” and after that I read you had issues at various percentages % of completion, the fact that the target was wondering about, got me to my next check and that was anything mechanical impinging on your process. What was next, for me, was HEAT! Hence my invitation for you to look inside the box. What would have been good for you to understand just how much this was, to run a Temp program to ascertain just how much heat your PC was generating PRIOR to cleaning and then AFTER cleaning. That would have been edifying to know.
Rendering is a severely CPU and other component-stressing procedure. If your PC is a bit under par/spec, here I mean ready to handle rendering, then rendering WILL make your PC scream back at you. And it did!
I’m real glad you didn’t reinstall WIN7. Now knowing that it was a heat issue, or rather a reduction of an adequate ventilation system issue, you would have STILL had the same fail, and that after maybe a full morning or day even of fut-zing around with a reinstall, when a blow-out, brush or whatever cured the day.
I hope you continue with this issue rearing its head for the foreseeable future. I regularly open the box once every 6 months to have a look-see and a cursory clean, Springtime or not.

Open the PC and see if you are getting overheating from Dust in and around any air vents or fans. PLUS you could have a failing PSU. I’ve had both, rendering found them out for me!

Rendering out video is by far the BIGGEST single test of any PC setup that will also test your workflow. That, and trying to get sensible frame rates that are above 50% of what you’d expect.
SO:-
Q1] What are you rendering FROM? That’ll be the Media on your Timeline.
Q2] What are you rendering TO? That’ll be your Rendering template.
Q3] Do your Project Settings match ALL of your Media on the Timeline? If not why not?
Q4] If you have still images, what format and how big?
Q5] What Format Audio do you have? This should be very low on the list of checks, but you never know.
Q6] How much Hard Disc space have you got? Are you rendering to the System Drive? Is your Media on a separate drive to your System?
Q7] What mix of FXing and Nesting do you have going on?
As you have not said any of this in your post, I can’t infer whether you have checked these items or not.
Cheers

How much “typing” is needed?

Great question! – I’m a bit of a thug when it comes to the Trimmer.
I start with an Empty Timeline – this clears my mind – it’s a Zen thing . . .
However, I place the 2, 5 , 10 or even 45 minute clip in the Trimmer. I now just Drag across the footage I want – that makes a selection – and Either make a Sub Clip from it OR – for most occasions – just Drag that selection directly to the Timeline. This way it keeps my attention and ideas flowing . . Ommmmmmmhhh!
In and Out? Don’t bother.

I’ve found that it is the “Last Session” view that comes back at me. If you AREN’T getting that then you aren’t leaving Vegas with your view that you have believed you have created.
How do you go about creating and saving your Views(Layout)?

Wouter, excellent question.
From what I’ve read, and tried to understand, not ALL cards allow for both CUDA and GPU video acceleration. From reading what you’ve written it would appear you, Wouter, CAN use CUDA (that which allows for very fast rendering) and only on certain rendering formats/templates, and those would be AVC. However, what would also appear is that you, Wouter, can’t select Video Acceleration Processing.
You may very well do one – CUDA for Rendering speeds – but not the other – make use of Video processing acceleration.
Now, if I’ve got that analysis incorrect I’ll most certainly apologise and rethink MY understanding of what is, for me, a confusing state of affairs.
Now, what I’ve been wanting to know and get some salient and intelligent understanding on all of this, is: Do I switch ON Video processing acceleration for a project which has BOTH non-GPU+GPU FXs OR set Video Processing Acceleration OFF if I have a BOTH non-GPU+GPU FXs?
Here is a link to the Sony site which describes what is going on for CUDA, GPU Acceleration and the GPU cards and setup needed to make use of both: https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro/gpuacceleration
If you discover or others do any illumination on the subject, I’m all ears!
Grazie
