After Effects Out of Memory Warning Forces User to End-Process

Sometimes while using AE I will "run out of memory" and a dialogue box pops up warning me of such.

 

However, if I try to close the dialogue box to diagnose the issue, another box will simply appear reaffirming the warning. This will continue until AE crashes, as it is impossible to adjust your project in any way when these dialogue boxes are popping up.

 

This of course leads to the only option being to open task manager and force close AE.

 

If there is a way to disable these dialogue boxes, I would eagerly do so, but I am new to AE and have not see such an option.

If you go into Preferences -> Memory and Performance, what is the memory allocations for AE and for non-Adobe apps set to?

Any project can cause this after building it up with many elements & effects. I've noticed my RAM usage is usually only around 50% when I get these warnings.

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz

RAM: 32gb Installed Ram

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6gb

There is no way to stop the dialogs. What are your computer specs? Is it a specific project that causes this?
