Scanning music library crashes computer due to memory issues

Server Version#:1.42.1.10060
Player Version#:4.147.1

Ripping my hair out - any help is appreciated. I have a Windows 11 PC that runs my server and recently, every time I do a full library scan or a music library scan, my PC will eventually crash and I need to hard reboot it to get it back up and working. Scanning just movies and TV shows are fine - it’s just music that keeps crashing it.

The event viewer on Windows has shown errors that are similar to this (amount of bytes different each time): Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: Plex Media Scanner.exe
(4712) consumed 68056633344 bytes, Plex Media Server.exe (3168) consumed 1715138560 bytes, and chrome.exe (13048) consumed 430555136 bytes.

I have checked my logs and tried removing what I thought might be the problematic albums, but I probably have no idea what I am doing and it still crashes.

Included logs from the last four crashes.

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance!!!
