I feel like i've tried everything from reinstalling the drivers, making sure I have enough memory, looking through all my settings in OBS and reading through past posts and checking if I have something off, updating every single one of my drivers via device manager, reinstalling OBS, updating windows, using a system restore point, and disabling all windows settings that could possibly conflict with OBS. Anyone know a fix?
