Yes, please post what presets you are using and some information on the scene. Have you tried other simple scenes and lights?

It's great students are getting these sorts of tools, but I think I am glad I never had to deal with this tech in school. Pencils and markers were about all I needed in school. And toothpicks for one project. We did CAD but it was more of a workshop than a serious class.

First, I would save, and exit SketchUP, and maybe restart the computer, and then retry rendering without opening anything other than SketchUP.
Next, I would test this in a new clean scene with a simple box and a single light. This is to determine if the problem is with all scenes, or may be related to resources like RAM.

Can you please provide computer specs and O.S.?
Which version of Twilight Render? (From where did you download the program?)
Please provide scene for diagnosis. Link to file share site is fine.
