when rendering videos in SonyVegas 11, my computer will automatically power off, losing hours of work each time (happened 5 times now) during the video rendering. no error message, just turns itself completely off. What is causing the computer to power off on its own and how do I fix it?
Your power supply is probably not adequate enough and cannot handle the load so it powers off.
Is this a custom build?
It is either the Power Supply or it is overheating. Download Speccy to check the temperatures.

it says you have to buy it in order to see your computer information
Open Hardware Monitor is OK for temps etc (and free)

Just pick the free one.
You could also use Speccy to post your system specs so we know what we are working with. Use this tutorial.
