Hey, I've been streaming to twitch for a couple of weeks now and everything has been fine, but now I find I can't sustain a stream for more than 5mins - if that!

I'll start streaming and it will be ok for a few minutes, but then it randomly go offline on Twitch. On OBS it still makes out I'm streaming and my broadcast will record up until I stop the stream manually on OBS - even though most of it wasn't actually broadcasted.

Here's a log file which hopefully reveals what I've been doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated; I have no idea why it's started doing this.

Thanks!

The only thing I can recall that might have changed prior to having these problems is my NIVIDIA drivers, which I updated just before OBS started failing on me. I have no idea, but that seems like an unlikely reason for my issues. Thought it would be worth mentioning though.
