RX 9070 Crashes whilst rendering in Vegas Pro 22 (build 250)

I have been using Vegas Pro for many years, but mostly working with old low resolution video clips. However, now I am going through a few years worth of 4K videos with my new PC (see signature). Most of the time the rendering goes smoothly enough. However, recently I have suffered 2 GPU crashes whilst rendering. The GPU crashes leaving both of my monitors black, but the PC is still running. My only recourse is to restart my PC (hard shutdown). When I restart it I notice only one monitor working, which is because I have a HDMI cable connected to motherboard and have access to iGPU. I found that due to the crash Windows has disabled the GPU (RX 9070) in Device Manager. I can reenable it, restart the PC and all is back to normal.

I occasioally play video games without any issues. Additionally, I have done many GPU stress tests, mostly with FurMark, and found no problem with it. I do not do anything with GPU in terms of overclocking and the GPU has been fine since I installed it back in early March. If anyone else has experienced GPU crashes whilst rendering I would like to hear about it. Or, any other Vegas user who is using the RX 9070 and their experience.

@John-Callahan thanks for the links, but I don't have OneDrive installed any more and can't figure out how to download the files.

HELP! 😁

If you click on the link it should just open it on your default browser. No need for OneDrive or Microsoft account. OneDrive is not an installed app.

@John-Callahan I thought I could download them all by highlighting them. I had to download each file separately. No biggie, I am waiting for the downloads to finish.

Just click in the column header to select all and press download. All should be downloaded

@John-Callahan not what I see. Screenshots below.

On to the actual video and rendering. I was able to render at the 4K settings without any issues. Timeline playback set to Good>Full and full frame playback.

Everything worked well for me with my computer. Finished rendering at 38fps.

I do not think the issue is related to topic starter only. I'm having similar issue: memory usage slowly going up and then VP crashed.
In my case this may happening during editing or during rendering. I'm usually rendering during nights when nothing else using much resources. This is just happening this morning -- I woken up and found VP crash message instead of rendered file. Re-started VP, start rendering the same project and now it is going good (90+% finished).
In task manager this looks like memory usage line slowly going up. Sometimes it is dropped down (this is a good portent).
I do not know how to replicate this issue (I tried many times). It is usually not happening on short projects and most my edits are short, but sometimes I'm working on long projects (original footage is ~4 hours or more, become <20 minutes after edit). Once I was able to add all the footage from my vacation on timeline and saved project (no any editing were made), but after that VP was not able to open the project file at all (memory usage goes to max while opening the project and crash). So I ended up splitting it.
I will not be able to share all the footage as it is huge and sensitive.

For me it would be good if VP devs have a special VP binary or option that write to log additional information. I would be happy to supply such log.

When I render big projects overnight, I find it helps to be offline. Keeps Windows updates from appropriating my resources. I also block driver updates via Windows Update all the time. Last thing I need is the rug pulled out from under my gpu or a disk in the middle of any render.
