Not sure, if there is any process on that laptop, that is causing high CPU load, or if OSU is causing enough load to max out the CPU.
I think the CPU is simply too slow. The notebook i7-6500U has only 2 cores (with hyperthreading this means 4 threads) and 2.5GHz Baseclock.

You may be able to improve by using Quicksync (QSV) as encoder instead of x264. For x264, your CPU seems too weak. And if you want to stream and record at the same time, set "(use stream encoder") as encoder for recording. This way, only one encoder is active and it is used for both streaming and recording. This halves the required computing power.

@BK-Morpheus and @koala thanks lots for even taking the time to look into my issue! :)

So, about what you said Morpheus, although my base clock for my CPU is 2.50, it runs at normally 3.00+ range.

Also, it only takes "13.1%" of my CPU, and that was while I was recording and streaming... So "slow CPU" I doubt was the issue.

It seems I fixed my problem, I only changed one thing. Not keeping the encoders the same between streaming and recording was what was the problem. After doing that I stopped experiencing overloading messages, frame drops, and the videos that record never skip frames.

Once again, thanks for reading and I am glad this was resolved so I can actually start streaming! :)
