Bug Report Crash on startup

[darrenobs]

I was hoping to test OBS studio on an i3 laptop (streaming only, gameplay on another device), but it crashes on startup. Is this due to the processor abilities or something else?

Laptop is a Dell n5110 running Windows 8.1 pro.

Thanks for your help!

Try to update (or even roll back) nvidia drivers, or try to make render Studio to integrated hd3000 card (at nvidia's control panel).

Thanks for that! I didn't have the nvidia drivers installed, so I guess it didn't like the hd3000. Installed nvidia drivers and it's up and running, hopefully enough power in the i3 to run a stream :)

If your i3 support 'Quick Sync' encoder, then many people on this forum suggest to use it (instead of software x264).
