Need more ram , out of HD space?
Set a calculating process too high?
Ie. too many sub-d's for GI / Displacement etc..
Cloth sim , physics sim too complex, invalid mesh included in calculation?

Anything that requires calculation either by manually starting the calculation ( cloth sim .. ) or at render time ( displacement )
All depends when your gettin the error
And whats included in your scene

try hiding all objects and render every object separately this way you will find what object or setting is making troubles.

If this happens to this single file only as you have specified, then the likelihood is strong that the file suddenly became corrupt. Just a worst case scenario. There should be a back up file in the directory folders. Check first if it can be recovered. And pray for the best.

mediafreak, if the file loads properly into the 3d software without any errors how can it be corrupt? Most probably the scene in this file has some settings or mesh errors...

Sanat, please provide more details about your scene.
