Question / Help OBS Causing Computer To Freeze Up

[Spiffyish]

Hello, I used to be able to stream pretty well, but since upgrading my computer, I'm now having a problem! For some reason whenever I use OBS to either stream OR record, it freezes up my computer every ~2.5 minutes. Here is an example OBS log from my latest attempt : http://pastebin.com/UZS40Rzi

Basically my whole computer freezes up and the game I'm playing becomes incredibly choppy, to where I can't tell what's going on at all, like an insane frame-rate drop, but way worse.

My computer specs are as follows:

AMD FX-8350 8 Core 4.0ghz
12 GB DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 7850
250 GB Samsung SDD
and 2 other HDDs for storage

Any suggestions?

We had other AMD users with this problem. It was in most cases a problem of that "great" CPU lowering its timings automatically when it reaches a certain temperature. And if I remember correct a few guys could fix it by deactivating the Turbo features of the CPU.
Get a tool to check CPU Voltage/Temperature and Clock (MHz) then run it while streaming and see if the lagging always starts at the same temperatures, then check your Bios if you can activate any features that automatically overclock the CPU or are called Turbo/Boost or something like that.
If you search the forum you might be able to find the other threads as well to look for tips.
