Question / Help Frame rate unstable, but no "dropped frames"

I reinstalled OBS Studio onto my SSD about a week ago during some PC troubleshooting and now this is happening the first time I try to stream. I checked the forums here before posting, not sure anything there applies to me.

Typically I stream CSGO at 60fps as my main game, running in bicubic 1080p native downscaled to 720p with absolutely zero issues. I turn down to 30fps for games like PUBG, Overwatch, and most of the variety stuff I play.

I went to stream Overwatch at 30fps on Tuesday when the event dropped and my frame rate would not stay at 30fps constant, but what struck me as strange was the 'dropped frames' readout reading zero. Is this a common error with a known solution?

My FPS in game doesn't change at all, FYI, and my GPU load for these games is using less than 1GB of the memory in everything except PUBG. The framerate simply just bounces between 15 and 30 at random intervals.

PC Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600 clocked at 3.2ghz (6 cores)
EVGA GTX 1050Ti 4GB FTW OC
8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mHz (downclocked to 2133mHz)
WD Blue 240gb m.2 6gb/s SATA
600W 80+ EVGA PSU
5400RPM Seagate 200GB HDD (running some of the games)

OBS Settings:
30/60fps @ 3500/4500 kbp/s respectively
Bicubic (also tried bilinear to no avail)
Default encoding settings/audio settings
720p output scaling (option on the FPS select settings menu)

I did grab the latest NVIDIA driver this week as well, but other than that my PC hasn't changed at all. Any advice would be appreciated, even just brainstorming!
 
That log still has no stream or recording attempt in it. Try following these steps carefully to get a clean log file:

To make a clean log file, first restart OBS, then start your stream/recording for ~30 seconds (take longer if you need to replicate the issue) and stop it again. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc. When you're done select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.
