[BUG] OBS continues to crash my computer when open.

I have recently been trying to practice for my esports team, but I need to use OBS (Long story), but when I had a preview projector opened, my computer crashed after 5 minutes, I'm on the most recent public version of OBS, and on Windows 11.
I tried opening a forum about this before about 4 months ago, and more people have had this problem before me.
 

Provide crash log too.
 
1. The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature in Windows is currently known to cause issues with OBS. We recommend disabling it via this screen or these instructions as a troubleshooting step. Be sure to restart your PC after disabling it.
2. To ensure that OBS Studio has the hardware resources it needs for realtime streaming and recording, we recommend disabling the "Game DVR Background Recording" feature via these instructions.
3. Your audio devices have sample rates that match. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
CABLE Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable): 48000 Hz
Headset (JBL Tune 720BT): 16000 Hz
4. Run OBS as Admin.

You can upload the crash log using the [Attach files] link at the bottom when you're writing the post.
 
Alright, I did all of that, and I also found out why I can't upload crash reports...
The crash isn't OBS crashing itself, the crash is OBS crashing my PC, which then closes itself without a crash.
Another thing, my headphones don't let me change the sample rates for recording, I don't know why, but it's stuck on 16000 Hz
