Your hardware supports neither DirectX 11 nor a sufficient OpenGL level. OBS requires hardware DirectX 11 support to work correctly. Your computer is unable to run OBS.

when I type Run/dxdiag it says that I have DirectX 11. What makes you say that I don't have it?

Having DirectX 11 software installed is not the same thing as having hardware support for DirectX 11. Your graphics adapter, Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 3150, does not support DirectX 11 at a hardware level. Your graphics adapter supports DirectX 9c. You can verify this by checking GPU-Z.
