Bug Report Game, Flash, and OBS all crash at the same time.

[GamePanda]

Hello, I'm fairly new to all of this so please bear with me. When I try and stream certain games (Most recently Elder Scrolls Online) The game will crash, Flash will crash on the browser, and OBS will all crash. Sometimes only one of them crashes, sometimes two of them will crash, sometimes all three will crash.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried multiple things from changing the game screen resolution to changing my OBS settings. I've tried using the log analyzer and it doesn't come back with anything so I am unsure as to what is causing the issue.

A crash in that sort of location is usually indicative of hardware issues more than anything, especially with what you're describing as happening. Perhaps overheating or just some sort of hardware instability or issue somewhere. I feel like it's unfortunately very likely in this particular case.

alright I'll test out a few things then. Thank you

So it does indeed look like it's a temperature issue. I monitored the temperature before and after a quick cleaning and that seems to have worked. However I have another question. I have the correct equipment to enable quicksync but I don't have the software (I think? again i'm new so I might just be doing something wrong) but I've been told that quicksync takes a lot of the strain off of the processor. Would that make it run cooler as well? If so then I think that would solve all of my problems.

Thank you again for taking the time to respond to me!
