HELP! NVENC Error: Device passed to the API is invalid.

After about an hour and a half of streaming, an API-related message pops up, and OBS along with all my programs freeze. The programs I’m using are Vstudio, Vbridger, and Photoshop.
These issues started occurring after I began using a program called Vbridger.


These are the error messages that occurred.

1.NVENC Error: Device passed to the API is invalid. (NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_DEVICE)
2.Required graphics API functionality not found. Your GPU may not be supported.


The methods I've tried include increasing memory, updating the graphics driver, and disabling hardware acceleration. I still need help..!


Could you help me understand what kind of conflict might be causing this?

I got this same error from my past few streams. Has there been any solution to this error yet?

I was streaming fine for 3 hours and then all my applications crashed with this error. I was also using vtubestudio, vbridger and a few other applications like firefox, mixitup, and tidal.
