It sounds like your computer is going into sleep mode. You may have to
check the BIOS settings on your computer. It could be that the hard
drives are powering down into standby mode and are failing to wake up,
it's also a energy saving mode, especially if you have Green Western
Digital hard drives on your computer. Most of this can be fixed by
finding the standby (or power saver) settings in your bios and
changing them so the computer does not go into standby mode.

I'd also suggest closing down programs running in the background that
you don't need. If a program in the background pop's up a window
wanting the user to click on a button in the window then this can
cause the computer to appear to lock up. The pop-up window can be
hidden by the screen of Pinnacle Studio.

Most video editors use space on the hard drive when writing temporary
files such as partly rendering a video. Make sure you have enough hard
disc space and enough computer memory. Check the minimum requirements
for Pinnacle Studio. Also check for Pinnacle Studio updates.
