Question / Help Computer Shutting Off Mid-Recording

Hello. My PC seems to be shutting off when recording, and I don't really understand why. I was trying to start a Ghost Recon: Wildlands series with my friend, but, seemingly randomly, my PC shuts off. This only happens while recording. Here's my log:

I doubt it's a cooling issue, though I will try recording and testing the temps just in case. I'd appreciate any insight you all can give.

Some things to consider:
- Check with your motherboard vendor to see if you got the right RAM in your system. They usually have a support list along with the RAM profile settings you need to set. RAM and motherboard combinations were problems when Ryzen was released.
- Visit motherboard vendor and flash the BIOS on updates
- 4 fans with liquid cooler
- Update Nvidia Drivers. Download GeForce Experience.
- Since base resolution = output resolution, try using bilinear downscaling filter instead of Lanczos for faster speed

My RAM should be fine, it's listed as entirely compatible on the mobo's supported RAM modules, and my motherboard is completely up to date.
I've got liquid cooling, and my temps generally aren't going above 50C at the most from what I've seen.
My Nvidia drivers are completely up to date (I have GeForce Experience and just checked for new updates).
And, I have no issues with speed. I don't have any issues with frame drops in my games at all, actually. The difference between not recording and recording is within 2-3 FPS on Wildlands, and less in some others.

Based on above, lets assume then its not hardware related and that its a OBS software issue.

Post a recent OBS crash log. You can find it in:
