Crashing

OBS has been crashing fairly regularly, spontaneously.
Here is the latest App Error:
Exception Breakpoint
0x80000000003
0x00007FFB6B141152

Any suggestions to fix this?

This might be related.
My CPU usage used to be around 25%.
Lately it is around 52%.
Could this be because of the new cameras I installed that are running at 4K?

Do they use the CPU even when OBS is minimized to the task bar?

Can you please tell me where I can find it?

I Just did a little more experimenting.
I opened resource monitor to see the CPU usage.
Pretty much the only app that is using the CPU is OBS.
Next I did some tests. I turned off one of my cameras and the CPU
usage dropped from around 52% to about 48%.
Then I disabled the second camera. It stayed at about 48%.

Why is OBS using so much CPU power even when the cameras are disabled?
Also how would I change the FPS which is set at 60/60 now?

I just learned something new.
Instead of minimizing OBS to the task bar (which doesn't change CPU usage)
if I Deactivate the two cameras the CPU usage drops from 54% to 10% !
If there is a better way to go please let me know.
Does the FPS 60/60 affect the CPU as well?
I could drop that if it would help.

you're maxing out your RAM which causes OBS to crash.

OK thanks that makes sense.
If you read my replies above you will see that I have cut down my CPU use from 52% for OBS to just 5% now.
My latest discovery was that VirtualCamera.exe was also running.
So I deactivated the camera that runs it. This brought my CPU use down from 10% to 5%.
So basically I've learned that:
-The new cameras I bought are CPU intensive/hungry.
-I need to Deactivate them when I'm not using them.
Do other people do this?
