I am new to OBS and went to stream / record yesterday to find the "drivers out of date" error message. So, I updated my drivers to find that the same problem was continuously happening. I've looked at the logs and can't seem to find where it goes wrong. I attempted to upload the logs, but for some reason it won't. So sorry that they are copy and pasted.
