Question / Help Dropping frames in all games suddenly?

I've streamed several times and it's worked out fine. But when I just tried to stream every single game (including ones that ran perfectly fine the day before) were lagging horribly bad on stream. And I don't recall changing any settings in OBS.
I tried about 3 or 4 different games, some of which weren't even graphically demanding and it still was lagging badly on twitch.

Do you have any antivirus or security software?

Code:
12:40:58.724: format: RGBA
12:40:58.724: GPU conversion not available for format: 6

Also, why did you change the video format? Put that back on NV12

I would be quick to blame McAfee. Can you temporarily disable it or add OBS as an exception? Nothing was changed in OBS that would cause this kind of drastic performance issue.
