Greetings
I run O.B.S to stream on chaturbate however the laptop heats up and 1 hour into the show I get a black screen and completely cant access any function on the laptop so I have to force a power off to restart the laptop during a live stream, this is so frustrating as you can imagine i lose viewers
the hardware am using include;
1.logitech c920
2. Nvidia graphics card Geforce Gtx 1050i
3.The laptop is an HP pavilion gaming laptop i7
kindly some one help please

Keep laptop from overheating


1) Find the maximum temperature for your CPU processor, never exceed it - or you can start damaging a lot of components.
2) Use a laptop cooler pad, they are like $20 bucks on Amazon. The one I got isn't very loud even running full speed.
3) Use a ac/dc powered USB hub to supply power to USB ports - (example, my phone plugs into my laptop for low latency, and then my usb hub plugs into the other, and supplies power to the cooler, mouse, keyboard, etc and doesn't put extra work on the laptop because its being powered externally)
4) Run a CPU temperature monitor software while streaming. If you are getting close to temp you need to offload the graphics and let the PC cool down. (then when streaming, if when its getting too hot - move over to a static screen and offload any other sources besides the camera & microphone, or go on "break" and offload as many resources as possible to give the laptop time to cool down).
