Question / Help OBS causes BSOD when streaming

Hi all, I've just got into the whole streaming thing (well trying to).
Previously, I've just used OBS to record my racing on iRacing. It works perfectly for this.
However, I've tried streaming 3 times, the races last about 25 minutes. The first stream I tried the Blue Screen Of Death occurred within 5 minutes.
The second stream, worked ok but I wasn't playing attention to how long I was streaming as I was just testing things out.
The last time, I was 4th in a epic race, 2 laps from the end.
I'm gutted.

I've checked the crash log in OBS and the folder is empty. The normal OBS log says nothing;

The blue screen of death stated

What Failed: L1C63x64.sys

I'm running Windows 10 (latest update)
Latest Geforce drivers on my 580ti

16Gb ram.

link to the stream (obviously doesn't show much it just abruptly ends, but at least you can see up until that time it worked perfectly)

Help, please, I don't think I'll risk streaming a race again. Lost a lot of rating from the crash.

Cheers

L1C63x64.sys is a driver for your Qualcomm Atheros network adapter.

OBS is not the cause of this crash. Make sure all your network drivers are fully up to date by checking the manufacturer's website.
