Something is going wrong when you are switching between the Retina display and the external monitor. What monitor are you using and whats the resolution.

My disk cache is set to 23GB, the used cache size on disk is only 2-3GB with around 90GB free. Cache location is my home folder. Have emptied the caches and it does the same, no errors are logged to the console.

External display is a basic LG monitor running at 1920x1200, connected via HDMI.

Is there any possibility for you to move these 3 i.e Disk Cache, Conformed Media Cache and Conformed Media Cache Database onto another fast drive like an external SSD. Its never ever a good idea having the scratch disk on the same drive as the OS. It will slow you down terribly

See how mine are set up. External SSD so no conflicts with any OS files etc. This is how you need to set up your workflow before you even begin on AE projects

Are you pressing the 0 key on the numbpad or the return key.

I think this is the issue you are having. If your current time indicator is at a certain point on the timeline and u press 0 for a RAM preview it will render to that point only and then restart and loop.

To preview on the timeline press the return (enter) key and it will play until the end of the timeline or to any point you want it to
