Problem with speed. Ram? Motherboard?

[jmarket]

Hello. I’m not exactly sure where to start.
I have a pretty solid build with NVIDIA Geforce 1070 and SSD NVMe and an HDD.

So I’ve been rendering after effects videos at a good speed, but today after effects became very slow at rendering. 3x slower than normal. Rendering a near 2H video took 3-4 hours…now it’s 9-15. That’s not normal. I already did everything with after effects that I could but nothing. Attached is the footage of HDD squeaking occasionally WHILE saving the video which doesn’t usually happen. The sounds stopped after some time though. My PC has also been beeping twice after startup. 1 normal beep and a second lower pitch one. Says it might be the ram issue but I did change the ram already. I have a strong suspicion it’s the motherboard or specifically the RAM slots because the weird behavior began with PC not detecting the second ram stick. The double beeping began after the ram issue. Now I can’t render videos as fast. Not sure what’s going on anymore.

Thanks in advance, I’m exhausted from brainstorming. I want to get the exact same new motherboard.

Have you tested the memory, SSD, or HDD?

An Extended test with Windows built-in memory diagnostic might be a good place to start.

Heya, thanks for the reply.

Memory diagnostic came out clean and so did everything else. I tested the performance of the whole system via UserBenchmark and it’s mostly up to standards with the exception of video card and something else.

I notice you are using mismatched ram - Ram will run at the lowest speed stick.
For testing
are you able to uninstall java - can be re installed later or is it needed for your program?
If you have the serial key can you uninstall
Kaspersky Total Security Antivirus
Also can you change the power from High performance to balanced.
Test

Your power supply might be a bit on the low side.
Is this your GPU

That’s the GPU, yes.

Should I remove one of the RAM brands then?
I need Java.
Kaspersky has been uninstalled for a year.
Changed to balanced power.
By ‘Test’, you mean you want me to send the new Speccy link?

Speccy shows Kaspersky still on computer. Test means try a render
Windows Defender

Removed Kaspersky with the app. Wasn’t sure which “Total Security” to pick but I think I’ve done it.
And I removed one of the RAM brands

Seems the render MIGHT be a bit faster but just in case, you got any more recommendations? Also, I switched back to high performance, unless it’s worse?

[PeterOz]

Does the render need java?
If not can you uninstall to test - you can reinstall later.
High performance in power is for laptops with a dedicated GPU.
It can cause stability issues with desktop computers.
Are you rending to the NVME or to the HDD.
If to the HDD can you render one to the NVME as a test.
Was all the original ram the same specs?

I need java only for Minecraft but ok. I uninstalled it.
Changed back to balanced power.
I’m saving the render to HDD usually.
The other ram that I removed has speed of 34000, the one I use has 36000. Both brands are 32GB. 64GB combined.
Tested render to SSD from NVMe (OS). The footage I’m using is saved on HDD since it’s for storage.

Render runs at same speed it seems.

(I do have one other issue which I’ll look for myself later.
Essentially when I got the NVMe, I used the Samsung Magician software to transfer my OS to NVMe from SSD. However I lost full control over SSD and cannot delete system files from it nor can I render to SSD)
