Basically your old system is under-powered for real-time video encoding
This may or may not be having an impact
18:29:51.981: WASAPI: Device 'Speakers (Yeti X)' [48000 Hz] initialized
18:29:52.078: sample rate: 44100
Previous advice I've read about says to make sure all audio devices on same sampling rate if poassible/practical (especially under-powered systems)
DO NOT ignore big red warning and record to MP4, unless you know exactly what you are doing, and have a system to support such (you don't). auto Remux if need be. MP4 is NOT a record-safe format. period.. lots of previous explanations in this forum on exactly why, which I won't repeat
Basically your OBS settings are too much for your system/cpu
18:48:08.425: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 8813 (27.2%)
18:48:08.427: ==== Recording Stop ================================================
18:48:08.493: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 23137/23289 (99.3%)
is dropping capture from 60fps to 30 even and option, and will it help?? worth checking/testing
Your 10yr old AMD A10-5745M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics is a low-end CPU, optimized for battery life, not the computationally demanding task of real-time video encoding. And subject to thermal throttling
I recommend monitoring hardware resource (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc) utilization [for ex. using Task manager’s Performance tab and/or Resource Monitor] to see if your system is being maxed out with your settings https://obsproject.com/wiki/General-Performance-and-Encoding-Issues and https://obsproject.com/wiki/GPU-overload-issues
I'd try an OBS auto config settings, then make sure your Operating System is optimized (no unnecessary background processes, etc). This will take technical expertise, time, and finesse, and even then, you will be limited by an almost 10yr old laptop

Unfortunately - noSo basically 13 minutes long at most until computer is replaced?
it isn't an issue of time.. even a clean recording of 1-2 minutes may be an issue. If time is the issue, then I suspect your disk drive isn't keeping up when recording (still on a HDD vs SSD?) [but only guessing.. could be RAM, or ??]
The issue is that the cost of upgrading quickly becomes counter-productive vs getting a much newer system (with a GPU you can do encoding offload). Sorry, this stuff gets complex.
Operating System optimization is an art. Same goes for OBS.
With expert knowledge applied to your setup (OS and OBS, avoidance of running anything not absolutely required), and low recording settings (resolution, frame rate, etc) maybe ... depends on application you plan to run (ie resource demands before OBS, and resource availability for OBS).
Basically - ignore online advice for a beautiful OBS stream look/layout, at quality resolution with filtered and compressed audio, etc. Your PC isn't up to that. What can it do? sorry, I don't know. Others in this forum do... but getting a 10yr old PC to real-time video encoding... real challenge.. you'll need to either become fairly expert or find someone to spend a fair amount of time on your specific system to try and getting OBS recording to work cleanly.
Sorry, my expertise is NOT in getting OBS to work on a under-powered system. Good Luck on getting other input
