Question / Help Camera(s) Freeze after 5 secs

Hey Guys, I'm having issues with OBS and my camera freezing. I've tried everything I can think of and it just freezes solid after about 5-10 secs. When I uncheck the cameras source and recheck it, it starts up again and freezes after ~5secs.

I've tried both my Logitech C615 and my old Microsoft LiveCam VX-2000. The VX-2000 seems to last a little longer (10 secs) than the C615. I've updated the drivers and software for the C615.

System Specs:
Win 8 64 bit
AMD FX 6300 3.79 GHz 6 core
8GB Ram

I've tried the following in OBS:
Custom Resolution for the Camera Capture
Setting Camera as a Global Source
Encoding: dropping the max bitrate to 1000 (from 3000)
Encoding: Using or not using CBR or CBR padding
Encoding: Using or not using custom buffer size
Advanced: Using or not using "Encode in Full Range"

The one thing that seems to keep the camera's running though is the option under Advanced to "Disable encoding while previewing".

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
