I also run into this error out of the blue. One day I'll be editing fine and the next Premiere suddenly decides that it's not OK with it anymore. It will throw tantrums for a few days...and then suddenly quit misbehaving. Whether this is Premiere's fault or my computer's, who knows. Maybe it's a bit of both. Whatever the case, usually I can circumvent the error by reloading my project file and then rendering, though if I want to render again the odds are pretty good that another tantrum will ensue. Your's seems like an even worse situation, though.
Some advice, after you defrag your computer (assuming you haven't already done this):
1. Save a
copy of your project and then open that copy in Premiere (to be extra safe, after you've restarted the program).
2. I assume you have auto saves laying around. If step #1 doesn't work, go back to the last save you're pretty confident had no problems rendering and open that up and see what happens. If it seems to behave, make a note of which one it is and try opening you're most recent auto save to see if you can get away with using that file, instead of your "real" project file. If that recent auto save file is bad, start going back through them until you find the most recent one that actually works.
Auto saves have saved my sanity more times than I care to count.
