i dont know where to start.

how can i find all this information?

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 DUO CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz 2.10GHz
3.00GB RAM ( how can i find the type )
32-bit operating system

( i had my paging file on 3gb x 1.5 but i upscaled it to, 3gb x 2 )
( min and max are the same )

i dont know how the ram is like if its 1 2gb and 1 1gb or 2 1gbs and 2 0.5gbs i couldnt say, how i can find this out.

if i can i would like to install more RAM what would be ideal? 4gb ram?5 gb ram? will this fix the problem at hand?

i managed to get a pic of the render of main project at 0% before the error, i think its related to system low on memory(suprise suprise) could i buy more ram, i have a 32 bit dell xps m1530 with dual core processor with 3 gb ram, if i can upgrade ram what would be ideal could i upgrade to 4gb ram 5gm ram? if so what and where i can i look for this.

i thinks its strange that i only get this error now even though i have rendered these projects many times before. could it be a memory leak? maybe defragment again, clean re-install (did this couple months back)

paging file is 6144

render peak

Second, just to refresh my memory, are you using vp9 or vp9a? (Vp9a solves some rendering problems.)
-vp9a

Dynamic ram preview is set to zero?
-0, but i reset it back to 350 to se if it will stop the red images, now back at 0

Reduce maximum number of rendering threads to 1?
-what it this? also i change between 1 and 4 makes no change

Defrag hard drives?

-yes used microsoft dianostics defragmentation tool to defrag drive

Set the initial and max swap/paging file size to 1.5 times the amount of ram you have (static swap file)?
-3gb ( 1024 x 3 ) 3072 – 3072 x 1.5 = 4608
-paging file was on 4608 min and max now reset to system managed? shall i change back

Reboot (to defrag paging file)?

-reboot is a restart i presume, yes have restarted many many times

Kill all unnecessary programs (such as AV)?

-cannot shut down bitdefender but can shut down sybot search and destroy

-i can open the large media file(the project)file,vp9a
-i can open new file with the new rendered files,vp9a
-i cannot put/import the new vegas files/rendered clips in the large meida file( the project) without getting the ‘not responding’ issue and clips go red.

well, ive only just got your reply, but its fixed again i didnt do anything, it seemed to correct itself. crazy programme aint it, thanks anyway.

oh i do have a small problem now in my main project with all my clips i am editing them togther, but in my timeline the clips and preview screen will go red occasionally( sometimes black, but 90% of the time red) and the programme can run laggy and slugish, i just got system low on memory error but while editing, which is a first and fairly strange, are they going red due to some memory issues it can produce an image?.
thanks

ive made a break through and have managed to render 10 clips without doing anything unusual, no ending processes just simply ram to 0 (like i always have it ) and somehow it just decided to work,

But!! now i have the problem again but its NOT always system low on error during the render it just stops and comes up with a large vergas has stopped working error message which gives you an option to write was you was doing at the time and send the report to sony,

i get this everytime i render now, but at diffrenet times it can be 10% or 20 % or anything but it usally stays in a small radius of the previous render zone , example last render error 17 %, this render error 20 % , new render error 15%, so i am thinking this could be related to the hard disk space available, i have 219GB free so it shouldnt be a problem.

so what is causing this, when i had the system is low on memory error it usally came in the 1% , i ocasionally still get the error message but at simiallar times to when the vegas has stopped working errors appear.

what is happening i need to complete the project by this week, so i have 2days to fix the error and complete, please help me, this is now offically driving me insane i just CANT figure out what is causing it, ive had problems before with rendering but this is definetly the worst like i said i was rendering fine a couple days ago with no changes.

i have posted some screenshots above.

my dynamic ram is already set to 0, rendering threads 4 ( tried 1 but made no diffencre)

already defragmented my pc last night , still no luck,

when killing processes what shall i kill ( also it was fine the last couple days, then 1 hour later and it started happening i dont understand what could of changed within an hour)

my render propeties i will give tomoz, they are HD wmv also tried other but no luck apart from wma ( audio)

will also try rendering with all processes down tomorrow (which onces, i dont want to end a necessary process which runs my system)

what are instances of vegas?

[Lee Hayward]

thanks for the reply,

i have:
bitdefender total security
spybot search and destroy
sony pro vegas 9
adobe photoshop cs4 and related elements
arc soft total media
