Question / Help I can't seem to record longer than 30 seconds at a time

I've been trying to get OBS to the point where I can record happily. I wanted to record me playing on my server, but I looked back on the Video and saw it only lasted 30 seconds. Luckily, I wanted to do a test recording to see if everything was going to look good and sound okay. But I go back and see it only recorded for 30 seconds, even though It had been at least a minute. Also, another thing I'd like to point out is that I could still hear my voice, but my video had frozen. Help please?!

Here you go!

Code:
encoder thread frame - [100%] [avg time: 13.982 ms]
you are trying to record 1050p @ 100fps, and this is even to high for my hexcore CPU.

Lower the fps to 30, and downscale your resolution to something under 540p since you only have a slow dualcore processor this is probably the highest you can go.

if you are only recording local you can raise your bitrate to 10,000 bitrate and buffer and turn of CBR. set your quality balance to 5ish
