Suggestion #1:

Go update your Windows version to the current build as you are behind
19:59:35.040: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 18362 (release: 1903; revision: 836; 64-bit)

1909 is the current build number as of this writing.
2004 is slowly rolling out as it is the May 2020 update

Suggestion #2:

Go update your Nvidia drivers with GeForce Experience for your GTX 750Ti

Suggestion #3:

Your log shows that OBS Studio is using the weaker Vega 8 as the GPU adapter to capture.

20:00:07.973: Available Video Adapters:
20:00:08.007: Adapter 0: AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics
20:00:08.007: Dedicated VRAM: 1057542144
20:00:08.007: Shared VRAM: 3721693184
20:00:08.007: PCI ID: 1002:15dd
20:00:08.008: Driver Version: 26.20.15015.1007
20:00:08.008: output 0: pos={0, 0}, size={1280, 720}, attached=true, refresh=60, name=DELL IN1910N
20:00:08.008: Adapter 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
20:00:08.008: Dedicated VRAM: 2105278464
20:00:08.008: Shared VRAM: 3721693184
20:00:08.008: PCI ID: 10de:1380
20:00:08.009: Driver Version: 26.21.14.4587
20:00:08.057: Loading up D3D11 on adapter AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics (0)

You want to use the GTX 750Ti instead. To switch or disable the GPU read your laptop manual or contact your laptop manufacturer's tech support team.

Read this for black screened laptops

Suggestion #4:

Avoid getting into the habit of using multiple screen capture types (Windows, Game, Display) in the same Scene. Use only one. When OBS starts up, it goes out and walks scenes and sources lists and creates them in application and Win UI memory. Having too many handles correlating to screen capture types can reduce performance and take up unnecessary memory.

It is best to create separate Profiles according to screen capture type and give them useful names so you can switch to them from the OBS Profile menu list.

For example these are the three most generic ways to do this. Everything you change is done in the properties dialog box for each screen capture type. This avoids having to create tons of separate profiles/scenes/sources for each application/game.

Profile #1: WinCap

Scene: Intro
  • Source: Media source or Image
Scene: Stage
  • Source: Logo
  • Source: Webcam
  • Source: Window Capture
Scene: Intermission
  • Source: Media source or Image
Scene: Outro

Profile #2: DispCap

Scene: Intro
  • Source: Media source or Image
Scene: Stage
  • Source: Logo
  • Source: Webcam
  • Source: Display Capture
Scene: Intermission
  • Source: Media source or Image
Scene: Outro

Profile #3: GameCap

Something that has always annoyed me is people's assumption that you're using a laptop. I am not using a laptop, so will your advice still work with a desktop?
