Win 10 crashes with long AVI file processing
#1
Windows 10.0.19044 Build 19044
Hybrid 2026.03.21.1

I'm deinterlacing .AVI files to MP4 with upscaling to 1920x1080 at 29.97fps using QTGMC.
Shorter files (<10 minutes) work fine. If I use a long file (1:43:34) it runs for a while then crashes my computer. I think this also happens with several short files stacked up in the job queue.

Debug file attached. 
Any clues?

Hmm,.. the debug output simply stops,...
Since the script:

looks fine and the encoding call:
"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\Vapoursynth\vspipe.exe" "C:\Users\james\AppData\Local\Temp\encodingTempSynthSkript_2026-06-25@11_05_07_5810_0.vpy" - --outputindex 0 -c y4m |"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\x264.exe" --preset fast --pass 1 --bitrate 14000 --profile high --level 5.1 --ref 1 --min-keyint 25 --direct auto --b-adapt 0 --rc-lookahead 40 --sync-lookahead 36 --qcomp 0.50 --qpmax 51 --partitions none --no-8x8dct --me dia --subme 2 --trellis 0 --aq-mode 0 --sar 1:1 --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "C:\Users\james\AppData\Local\Temp\VHS-01 - Clip 003_1_2026-06-25@11_05_07_5810_05.stats" --demuxer y4m --input-range tv --fps 30000/1001 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
starts fine and runs for a while (~10min), it's probably not a Vapoursynth issue or similar.

The typical reason for system crashes, are:
(from most likely to not so likely)
  • over- or underclocked cpu, ram, vram, gpu (when I over-/underclock stuff, one of my tests is to do a few days of encoding, to be sure the system is stable)
  • temperature issues that cause issues with cpu, ram, vram, gpu
  • some other tool interfering and causing memory issues
  • some defect drivers
  • some defect hardware (does a stress test that stresses memory, cpu and gpu at the same time run fine? - maybe run different stress tests in parallel)
  • some really exotic defect source file that causes one of the Vapoursynth filters to eat-up all the memory and crashing
=> my guess would be a heat issue

Thanks. I've just installed Core Temp to look for a heat issue. However, the job (any file) is now stalling at the step where video processing starts. It didn't do that before. I get this in the debug output file:
2026.06.27 - 16:57:31_Windows 10 Version 21H2 (64bit)_2026.03.21.1 - level 9: Main call started,..
2026.06.27 - 16:57:31_Windows 10 Version 21H2 (64bit)_2026.03.21.1 - level 9: Setting m_startingJobs(2) to FALSE

Not sure what to make of it.

Close Hybrid, clear temp folder, restart Hybrid, reset the job, try again.

Did those things. Still stalls at the same place SOMETIMES with shorter clips, and ALWAYS with a long clip 1:43:00.
