I need some help! I completely upgraded my gaming rig to support me working from home (video editing) due to covid, and got a stimulus check. Yay! Here are the new specs:

• ASUS Prime X570-Pro Ryzen 3 AM4 MoBo
• AMD RYZEN 5 3600X
• GeForce RTX 2070 DirectX
• CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin RAM
• SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
• Seagate BarraCuda ST4000DM004 4TB (HDD)

I had a GTX 1070, AMD FX-8370, 32gb RAM in my previous build. Now here’s the problem:

Using the Adobe Suite, Premiere Pro and After Effects worked great. Smooth playback using 4K-6K footage, in a 1080 timeline. Dynamic linking to all my files. But then it became export time. And my system would not have it.

Video card would lose detection of monitors, the RAM would be at 99% before completely crashing, I believe the program was creating too many cache files. I changed where it’s stored. Nothing.

Assumed it might be the Black Magic files (.braw), as they aren’t native to PPro, but the plugin I used worked on the older model. So I reinstalled all of adobe. Nope.

Went back to the RAM problem. I went to bios and enabled Profile 1 in XLM to increase memory speeds. That actual did make some programs more stable and was able to export a 40 second clip... in 35 minutes! My work computer at the office can render and export 1:1 (granted it is faster than my rig, utilizing an NVIDIA Quadro 6000, but only 32G of RAM). My previous build exported the same clip last week in 5 minutes. I ran the Windows memory check program (took almost 2 hours!) and it found nothing wrong.

Also changed the RAM cache location to an internal HHD, rather than the default C Drive (SSD). I think the cache was getting full too quickly for the program to complete. Most video export attempts would stop 30% in. Don’t know how I feel about moving this though.

Now the new SSD was cloned from my previous SSD (525GB Crucial MX300). Just throwing that info out there.

I switched between export settings in Premiere and Encoder utilizing either the GPU or CUDA memory, and CUDA would be the only one to finish the export. Using the GPU would crash the card and I would have to restart PC to get my second monitor back.

Any help is appreciated because the last thing I want to do again is get ready to end the day with an export, and then have 7 hours of computer problems when I just wanted to game! Thank you!!!

P.S. UserBenchmark says the computer is a nuclear submarine, where the weakest point is the RAM.
