It often helps to monitor your system resources while performing a render to see if something like your CPU or memory is maxed out when the crash happens. Work out why that frame is causing the crash. But it may save you in a critical situation.

You will still need to determine what is the actual cause of the render crash as this simply bypasses the problem. While this may work it is not really a fix, but more of a workaround. And then also deselect Stop playback when a dropped frame is detected.Deselect Stop renders when a frame or clip cannot be processed.If your render keeps getting stuck on a certain frame in your project and you can’t figure out why try changing these settings: GPU drivers are regularly updated to deal with new versions of operating systems and software, so if you have done any updates it is key to ensure your drivers are up to date. The next step is to ensure all your drivers for your system and especially your GPU is up to date.

You may have a very high-end computer with a great GPU but if you are using the free version, DaVinci Resolve does not utilize all this capacity since the free version has limitations. This leads us to another important point. It is important to note that DaVinci Resolve does support and use multiple GPUs in the correct configuration but this is only available in the paid Studio version. Disabling 1 GPU may be required, especially if it is an onboard GPU. Sometimes multiple GPUs can cause a problem.

This is especially important when working in higher resolutions like 4K. Intensive visual effects in Fusion and complex color grades can be extremely taxing on your computer, so make sure it is up to the task. Is it up to the task of what you are trying to render? Make sure that your system meets at least the minimum system requirements for DaVinci Resolve. One of the first things to consider is your hardware.
