After Effects asks me for more ram

I have had this problem with After Effects for several months (Only with this program, the others work fine).

I hardly use After Effects only for specific things, but every time I start the program, any action I take begins to consume all the allocated Ram memory that I have, (68GB ram)

I have to debug the memory and cache every 3 minutes, but it is not enough, and there are moments where the entire PC hangs and the screen goes black, (it only happens with After Effects, it does not happen with other programs or video games )

I don't know what to do anymore, I have visited forums and none of them have a concrete answer, I hope someone here can help me

I attach photos of the specifications of my computer and the error that I get very often.

It seems absurd to me that a frame requires 8GB of RAM, when I really have 68GB allocated for Adobe programs, and it also happens with any video that I add to the program when I want to edit it.

    The error message is indicating a single frame is taking 8GB RAM to render. You should take a look at the resolution of the footage and the composition and see if you can reduce either of those requirements.
