my OBS keeps crashin' at random times and it's on a dedicated livestreaming PC with no game installed

[blakedmc1989]

so..... basically i'm havin' some issues with OBS studio keep crashing at random times and keep in mind i don't have any games runnin on my dedicated livestreaming PC....

i have reset my Task Manager to stock and i've even not only went tha %appdata% clearin' method and even revert back to a older version of OBS Studio and.... it still crashes

only thing i haven't tried was using DCH drivers because i didn't want my drivers to be automatically updated because i'm not gaming on tha PC i'm streaming off of, so if all else fails, i'll consider using DCH drivers

my other method is to reinstall Windows which i'll be more willing to do then to use DCH drivers, also i'll provide logs if anyone wants to help

also i'll give out my specs for my dedicated livestreaming PC

here's my streaming rig's specs:
Motherboard: MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk Max WIFI
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
GPU: EVGA RTX 2060 KO Ultra
Ram: 64gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600mhz DDR4
HDMI Capture Card: AverMedia GC573 (Live Gamer 4k)
Analog Capture Card: AverMedia C027
Boot Drive: Western Digital Black 250GB SN770 NVMe
App Drive: Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SSD
Storage Drive: Seagate Barracuda 8TB HDD 7200 RPM
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition
PSU: EVGA G3 750W Gold
Webcam: Logitech C922

also keep in mind, i'm not willing to go back to a single PC stream especially since i do some streams with Local Recording and Streaming at tha same time

1. You are running Windows 10 21H2, which has not been supported by Microsoft since June 2023. We recommend updating to the latest Windows release to ensure continued security, functionality, and compatibility.
2. You are running an old version of OBS Studio, 30.0.2, which is also not supported. Please update to version 30.1.2 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.

actually yea i know it's 21H2 but it's a LTSC 2021 IoT version of Windows 10 which will still get support until 2032 unlike Windows 10 Home and Pro which support is ending next year and i'm not touching Windows 11 especially since i have a C027 which still needs drivers which i can't find for my analog signal based games unless AverMedia sends drivers for it! and with LTSC 2021 u can't update to 21H2 and i refuse to use Windows 10 home and pro because it's not only too bloated, but LTSC 2021 IoT will still have longer support however i was not having these problems with LTSC 2019 tho but i am willing to use a newer OBS version and reinstall Windows but i refuse to use Home and Pro

You can always use a GNU Linux version, like Ubuntu Studio. As you can install it along side windows installation for testing is a good way to learn something new and check if it's good as some people says it is.
As far as I know the IoT version of Windows is meant for business applications, not particularly video and/or audio application.

only problem, Avermedia drivers are awful or non existent on Linux and i've used video/audio applications before and it wasn't a problem but i think my problem was i installed all tha older AverMedia software for my C027 dat could be tha cause of all of it along with me accidently messin with Task Manager processes, but i'ma try to reinstall Windows and just install tha drivers for my Avermedia C027 but software for my Live Gamer 4K didn't give me problems before
