NVidia GeForce RTX 5060 issues with OBS Studio fixed in a weird way: Update Windows

Hi, all.

Normally, I hang out mainly in the Plugins area and maybe the Tools and Scripts areas.

Anyway, I just upgraded one of my PCs in my setup from a GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR6 to a GeForce RTX 5060 8GB card. It went from reliable as a rock to ending stream whenever it wanted to for whatever reason it wanted to.

Running the latest OBS Studio and NVidia drivers. However, what was not at its most recent release was Windows itself, running Windows 11 24H2

I did the following:
  • Enabled Secure Boot (I doubted it would have anything useful, but was worth a try; didn't work; crashed)
  • Attempted to speed up the fan using MSI Afterburner - did not work; still crashed
  • Did the same with NVidia's utility. It did work in speeding the fans up and kept the GPU nice and frosty at about 37-39degC; still crashed
Fresh out of options before changing machines, I also decided to try NirSoft's software that can analyze a minidump. The module immediately involved was a DirectX 12 module, likely from Windows itself. Some suggested a BIOS update; can't do that with mine. I was genuinely out of options.

Or was I?

I decided one more try after doing the one thing I didn't want to do, but I had the ability to do it without disturbing my production machines: Using an identical machine to test whether the upgrade would take. (Context: This uses a Skylake-era processor, a Xeon E3 1230 v5.) Update worked without a hitch. Updated the encoder machine and tried another stream. The stream only ended when I actually told it to!

Anyone have any ideas what happened?
