So, I was streaming for an hour and my monitors suddenly blinked and the sound was going In the background but I can't do anything. Then I heard like a error sound happen but couldn't see what It said. So I streamed for another hour after and It happened only at the 1hr20m mark. Any Ideas?

Think I've uploaded the correct log file, I'm not sure. https://obsproject.com/logs/ZyCUeZCHV_rFZ3vK

This was probably a video driver reset. In gaming forums, often called black screen error (not the OBS black screen, but a game-specific black screen). Most often caused by overheating, overclocking, or some incompatibility between GPU and mainboard.
If you look in the Windows event log app into the Windows system log at the time the event happened, you will probably find the corresponding event. The cause is hardware-related and cannot be fixed in software. If some piece of overclocked hardware is used, revert the overclocking.

Hmm, how do I find It In the log? What specifically am I looking for? Like my PC Is staying on and sound still going but no display.

The temps are fine when gaming, I'm using an 8700k at 3.5ghz with the 1070 being stock clocked etc. It happens every hour or so regardless If I'm streaming or not.

Tested streaming at 720p Instead of 900 or 1080. No crashes. So I guess It was that? But my 1060 6gb could stream 1080 without losing signal to monitors. Confused?
