Saving to MP4 in obs' output settings has never been the recommended output format. If your recording is stopped non-gracefully for ANY reason AT ALL, the entire recording is rendered useless. That's why you get a warning in the output tab when you choose mp4 as your output format. Change it back to flv.

Along with the previous post from others, there are a few settings in your logfile I noticed,
First of all you have Windows GameDVR turned on in your Windows OS settings, this hooks into your game process so it can record/stream via Windows OS in-built recording app. This can potentially cause a conflict/create loss of performance, etc.
In your scene 'PUBG':
- source: 'PUBGG' (monitor_capture)
- source: 'Game Capture' (game_capture)
Having monitor capture in the same scene as another capture method is creating a resource overhead, as monitor capture records everything including desktop and is always active when the scene is active.
To get the best quality output you can with your PC setup, as with any other PC configuration, x64 software encoding is the way to go, though the caveat is it puts the load predominately on your CPU, making it work harder and run warmer. Below in the spoiler is some quick x264 encoder settings which your CPU should be able to handle:
In recording tab:
Encoder: x264
rate control method: CRF
crf: 15-21
keyframe interval: 0/auto or 2
CPU usage preset: veryfast
Profile: High
tune: none or film/animation (Personal choice here, tune profiles can help in retaining grain, more de-blocking though put a little more load on your encoder)
additional x264 options: none
In Streaming tab:
- YouTube Streaming:
Encoder: x264
rate control method: CBR
bitrate: 9000 or higher, the higher the better.
keyframe interval: 0/auto or 2
CPU usage preset: veryfast
Profile: High
tune: none or film/animation (Personal choice here, tune profiles can help in retaining grain, more de-blocking though put a little more load on your encoder)
additional x264 options: none - Twitch Streaming:
Note: Twitch only allows bitrate to 6.5k, so best to drop to 720p60fps.
Encoder: x264
Enforce streaming service encoder settings box: Unchecked
Re-Scale output box: Checked
Re-Scale Output: 1280x720
rate control method: CBR
bitrate: 6000
keyframe interval: 0/auto or 2
CPU usage preset: veryfast/faster/fast/medium (The slower the encoder preset, the exponentially heavier the load is on your CPU, you might not be able to do medium)
Profile: High
tune: none or film/animation (Personal choice here, tune profiles can help in retaining grain, more de-blocking though put a little more load on your encoder)
additional x264 options: none
If you prefer using h264 NVENC hardware encoder, the below settings should give a little more quality output:
Encoder: h264 NVENC
Rate Control: CQP
CQP: 15
Preset: High-Quality
Profile: high
2-pass: true
b-frames: 2
