Hi, I worked on a film of 90 min past Sunday with Vegas Pro Video. I'm not used to work on projects this long, I usually work on 5-8 min videos. So I did a little editing (nothing really heavy) of these 90 min of footage: applied 2 image filters on the 2 video tracks (different angles with vibrance corrections), some titles with opacity effects and that's about it. I started to render my video sunday at 11pm with CPU only (not GPU) and by the time I'm typing (20/06/2017, 11am) the computer is still working on the render. So that's been 36 hours now.
The problem is that when I woke up monday morning, my display got turned off as if it went into power saving and I can't wake it up with mouse (USB) and keyboard (PS2). The Keyboard is not responding when I'm hitting the CAPS LOCK key (ie it's not switching on the green light for CAPS LOCK). Since I can't see anything on my screen, I absolutely don't know when / if the render will be over in 1h, 12h, 48h, or 1 week. I have an ANTEC Sonata 3 case that flashes blue leds when the HD is working and it flashes once per second so that's not heavy activity but it's writing on disk.
I fear to damage my HD1 by just hitting the power off switch. Is there a way to wake my monitor up so I can see how much hours there are left? Or would you shut down the computer?
Yesterday, I read about Vegas Pro allocating ALL the RAM to the preview thus leaving nothing but pagefile for the render...
Here is my setup:

Thanks in advance
