Pro 18 Edit. Rendering stalls at 27% every time

Hi Folks,
I'm using the same render settings as for previous projects when I've had no problems. With the current project, rendering repeatedly stalls at 27%. The program crashes and I have to restart my PC.
I have removed the item from the timeline where it stops rendering but this makes no difference. I have also installed the latest build version of Pro 18 Edit from the Magix site in case I have missed an update but the problem persists.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers

@Tuppers Hi, 27% may not be the point Vegas starts to struggle, the program looks ahead as it renders.

Try removing a different event or fx before rendering. Do only one at a time so you know which is the problem.
Try rendering individual events by double clicking them to add a Region & then use Render Loop Region Only in the render window, or render short sections by adding a Region + the Render Loop Region Only option.
Try rendering to a different drive esp if you're rendering to an external USB drive.
If your orig files are on an external drive try moving them to your main (C) drive.
Watch Windows Taskmanager to see what your PC is doing whilst render. ie. does your RAM get full..
Update your GPU driver.
Check the Permissions (Properties - Security) of the files you're using.
