Bug Report Flickers when broadcasting

Hey guys. I've been having an annoying issue with OBS for quite some time now that's prevented me from streaming. After some time streaming (about 10 minutes), the screen flickers to black (including the stream) for about a second. Not only is this VERY annoying, but sometimes it causes the video card driver to crash, but this hasn't happened in a very long while.

My laptop is an Alienware m14x-r2 (i7, nVidia graphics card, 8gig ram). I have tried forcing OBS and the game to run both on the nVidia, both on the onboard intel HD, and different combinations giving no difference. I've done a bit of a search on the board and something similar recommended ticking "use CFR" which I'll try now. There's no crash logs as this doesn't exactly cause OBS to crash. I've tried changing my bitrate, upload server, and the flicker is present on my screen, in the OBS preview window and on the stream itself. Any help?

Yeah, sure. Forgot to mention that I have updated all of my drivers (not just the graphics cards).

I thought I'd give it a go as it said it had better support for multiple monitors (which I am running but have the same problem when I run just one monitor). Thanks for the fast reply!

Multi-GPU laptops can have a difficult time with capture. You need to make sure that the same GPU is being used for both your game and for OBS. It's a pain, but I didn't design these laptops, so it can't be helped. Go to nvidia control panel and make it force OBS to use your nvidia. Do not use the video section's adapter selection in OBS if possible, ideally you want it to use the top one in the list and select the GPU using the nvidia tools. You can also right click the exe/link I believe and force it to run the nvidia that way with some laptops.

Alternatively, this could be related to trying to capture a fullscreen game without game capture, which causes flickering. You'll have to switch to game capture for that most likely.

No, it's a windowed game, and yes I have forced it to run on the nvidia graphics (and tried forcing both OBS and the game to run on the on-board graphics to no avail)

Interesting revelation: I've just received the error (while previewing, not streaming):
Code: 
Texture->Map failed: 0x887a0005 0x887a0005

Your video card disappeared from the system. Please check for possible hardware / driver issues.

Drivers are all updated and I have NO issues running any games/programs that require heavy rendering The only other program that doesn't seem to work is XSplit...

Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure without having the computer right in front of me. Is there -nothing- that works?

So I decided to try and reinstall all my video drivers, and reset as much as I could. Eventually, OBS started working again, but not for long. However, something new has happened and I received this crash report:
Code: 
OBS has encountered an unhandled exception and has terminated. If you are able to

a description of what you were doing at the time of the crash.

This crash appears to have occured in the 'c:\windows\system32\igd10umd64.dll' module.

FRAPS is your issue, at least for that second crash log. Completely turn it off.
