New machine, OBS is locking up every 30 secs or so

Logs are attached, not really sure what's happening. I copied a scene collection from my old computer and imported it here. Everything else seems to run fine on this machine but it just locks up and goes unresponsive every 30 seconds or so and doesnt respond for 15 seconds. I'm not recording or streaming, im just trying to set up my layers and such.

You reference remote files on some unavailable network share. Remove these, because OBS hangs while the connection to the remote server is retried forever and times out. General advice: don't reference remote files. Use files on local storage only.

Ok, thank you. That's what I was TRYING to correct and it's just taking freaking forever. Since I moved it all, I'm putting in the new locations and it's causing these problems. Is there a way I can pull up an XML or JSON or something and do these in a text editor?

Yes, you can export your scene collection (Scene Collection->Export), edit the export file (it's json), then Scene Collection->Import.
The complete OBS configuration is saved in %appdata%\obs-studio and subdirectories as a mix of ini and json files, but I don't recommend editing it directly. Go the way through export/import to have sanity checks for edited files.
