1. don't ignore pinned post in this forum when asking for help/support (link in my.sig)
2. this is technical, so details are required... like Win10 or 11, etc.. Win11 24H2 is well-known to have lots of issues
3. beware random internet suggestions... lots of folks with NO idea what they are doing making recommendations (sometimes just click-bait, others showing something that worked for them, but not explaining or possibly even knowing the requirements/consequences/implications of their suggestions.)
Your issue could be your computer, Operating System (OS), other applications, OBS Studio settings, or 3rd party plugins (streamlabs being a particularly well-known PoS code quality plugin that pukes all over OBS Studio log and tends to make a mess of things in general)

You're on a laptop. Those things overheat easily. Then they have to slow down to protect themselves, and the recording falls apart.
Laptops are generally meant to be easily portable, load something quickly, and then sit and cool off while the user looks at it. Live media production doesn't allow it that time to rest.
Gaming laptops are slightly better than most, but not necessarily all the way there. Media and gaming specs are similar, but the workloads are just enough different to still be a problem.
A desktop tower would be the best solution, but if you must use a laptop, look at the "Mobile Workstation" class of machines. They're not designed for anything in particular, except to keep their (good!) published specs at full throttle indefinitely. Gaming laptops are actually a step down from that, being optimized for a specific purpose.

Ok, but that still isn't adequate details to know much... why did you ignore my point #1? I won't respond further if you continue to ignore this step (posting OBS Studio log per instructions)Im using windows 11 asus laptop, running on a nvidia mx350 and intel(r) uhd graphics
the only detail in your reply that partially helps is the mx350, which puts this as a circa 2020 release model (or a little later)... presumably a bit on the lower-end system? no idea as you didn't post other model info (required)...
If you have a U model CPU, that means Ultra long battery life (ie, ultra low performance)... usually thin and light systems with terrible thermal mgmt (because performance is NOT the intent of such systems)
per https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-nvenc-nvidia-geforce-mx350-support-or-not.155290/ the MX350 does NOT have NVENC (for encoding offload), so I think you will be stuck using setting for Intel's QuickSync
