Question / Help Error NVENC or AMD encoders

Hi,

I've been using OBS now for 5 years, and always with the NVENC +264 encoder. It has always worked beautifully, and given
great fps and quality. However 2 days ago, it started giving this error. I'm using an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU with 8gb
ram, on a Windows 7 64 bit system with Intel i7 quad core with 32 gb of ram. I've been trying to solve this. I updated the video
driver to latest version but it didn't help. I have no other programs in memory using memory. I saw a video where memory was
causing it, but as I said I don't have a memory problem, I have 27gb free, generally 22gb.

Does anyone have any clues what's causing this? As I said, my GPU has run Nvenc now with no problems and does
support it.

This is my log:

Hi, I see that that metod worked, but I don't know how to use it.(sry for wrong words, english is not my main language).
 
Dear OBS admin I found a problem when starting recording in obs
starting the output failed. Please check the log for details.
Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoder, make sure your video drivers are up to date.
what is the solution thank you
