My obs freezes on 1 screen while recording and the audio continues. I searched it up and was told to make a new thread. Here's my log:

That log is incomplete, but given how weak that GPU is, chances are your PC is not capable of running the settings you're trying to use.

Please post a link to a clean log file. To make a clean log file, first restart OBS, then start your stream/recording for ~30 seconds and stop it again. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc. When you're done select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.

From your log:

Code:
15:06:54.460: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 1676 (19.8%)

Your GPU is not capable of running both the game and outputting 1080p 60fps. Try turning the output resolution and FPS down to 720p 30fps (or even further if that doesn't work) in Settings -> Output.
