Chrome crashes and OBS follows right after

[Novika]

I usually stream doing live art using Clip Studio Paint.
I have a second monitor with Chrome open where I play music, have chat and look at references.
for months everything went smoothly, but since november, stream would randomly crash.
Starts with chrome dying due to lack of memory (which can't be, I'm barely using it). some tabs still work again by refreshing but eventually chrome crashes completely then OBS follows right after.
no idea why this is happening.
Have some crash logs

It seems obs is running out of memory. It's crashing in malloc. If your system has enough physical memory (16 gig or more), make sure the Windows settings for virtual memory/swap file are at their default and swapping isn't disabled, no matter how much memory you actually have.

thanks for the reply!
where do I check that?

ok, I switched my virtual memory to also use my SSD, apparently it was only using my C drive.
MB usage was about 4800MB, recommended was 4900MB
now that I added my SSD, MB usage is now 9800.
would that stop the crashes?

I don't know. This isn't a real OBS issue either, I recommend you visit some Windows support site.
