Question / Help Every game is crashing.

Like the title says, every game I try to stream crashes. Most games I've tried will stream for maybe 30 seconds to a minute and then crash. Arma III just has a black screen.

Games I've tried so far:
Outlast (Crashed after 30 seconds)
DayZ (Crashed after about a minute)
Battlefield 4 (Crashed after 30 seconds)
Planetside 2 actually didn't crash, but the framerate was hit hard.

Here's my log: http://pastebin.com/ecU0V0de

My specs:
i7 3770k @ 4.6Ghz
16GB DDR3
2x GTX 670 in SLI
Windows 8.1

- Are you running any other programs that may be trying to hook the games? Examples would include EVGA Precision, MSI Afterburner, Razer GameBooster, etc. Anything that might try to put an overlay on your screen to display information like temperatures or frame rate.

- Do the crashes happen only when using game capture, or does window capture also cause a crash?

- Do the crashes happen if you disable SLI?

- Are you running the latest NVIDIA drivers for your cards?

As a side note please don't try to stream at 1080p60. It will look particularly bad for the games you're trying to stream with Twitch's bitrate constraints, requires an inordinate amount of CPU resources to encode (resulting in either OBS discarding late frames or game performance tanking), and Flash has trouble decoding it well for viewers. If you want 1080p, stream at 30 FPS. If you want 60 FPS, stream at 720p.

Crashes when using game capture almost always indicate an outside process interfering as sapiens said. Other capture programs such as fraps for example, or other graphics-related tools, or programs that enable in-game overlays (steam and uplay work fine)
