Good morning everyone. Firstly, I apologize for my English. It's not my native language.

I have an error in OBS Studio that occurs a few minutes after starting the stream. My computer is new and has the following specifications:

AMD Ryzen 5600X Processor
GigaByte B550-M Motherboard
Kingston 500GB M2 SSD
GTX1660 TI Graphics Card
Corsair LPX 2x16GB 3000 GHz
Memory MSI 600W Plus White Power Supply

I downgraded Windows, installed older versions of OBS, tested each component separately, and everything works fine. But when I start the live stream, this error occurs: NVENC Error: Device passed to the API is invalid. (NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_DEVICE)

Please help me, I don't know what else to do to fix this.

Apparently the issue was resolved by performing a clean installation with driver version 551.76. Running live via OBS without any issues...
