Hi guys, I have a really old Laptop(like maybe 2010), but alas i want to stream to twitch with it. My last attempt was a disaster, the stream was miserable with laggs and growing latency, and my laptop actually crashed and shut down after around 10 minutes. added here is the log from the crashed stream:

I can try and supply more logs quickly.

the thing I want to know is if there are low enough resolutions in which i would be able to stream, since the OBS itself makes my laptop be extremely laggy.
Also I don't know if it matters or just an after thought, but I stream from my mobile android device to OBS and then to twitch on the same WIFI, will transferring data from the mobile device to my laptop via USB improve the performance noticably?

You have a weak CPU and GPU. Doing something on that laptop+running OBS isn't a good idea.

Yes you can try lowering the output resolution in OBS to help, and you can also try turning down the settings in any game you want to run, but that system is underpowered.
