OBS causing everything else to crash until OBS crashes during a stream

[dungeonmr]

I want to preface this with the fact that I am not literate in the ways of the computer, so please bear with me. Now, onto the problem.
Last night's stream was going smoothly for the first hour, then suddenly, when one of my viewers used a channel points reward, everything on my screens glitched and flashed. It wasn't an issue until the second instance of this happening, which popped me out of discord and caused my browser to not be able to load pages. Discord logged right back in, kind of, but it took a restart of my pc to fix it all.
Finally, it happened several more times, with no channel points reward triggering it, causing my screens to reset to factory (i use nightlight setting), Chrome and Discord to crash. Discord was stuck and could not be opened again, while Chrome would not load any page. Then while waiting, OBS decided to crash as well. This happened a couple more times, until I just left everything closed and streamed using just discord.

I will note, this has happened once before a couple of weeks ago, but it was a one-off and I could not get the problem to be emulated again until last night.

I am probably explaining things horribly, but here are the crash reports.

I will also post the one from a couple of weeks ago in case that helps too (05-09)?

All crashes are different. The first one doesn't have any thread info. The second one indicates a crash during audio processing. The third indicates some kind of stack corruption, the last one a graphics driver crash.

Putting things together, this random behavior probably indicates some kind of general hardware issue. Defective memory, defective CPU, defective GPU. Check overheating, proper power supply, run a memory test as well as CPU and GPU tests.

Here is the first log of last night as well (there are several since I restarted OBS several times and kept trying in the moment), in case that helps narrow things down too.

It is a laptop from a year or so ago as well, so hardware could definitely be it. I'll run some tests as suggested. Thanks for the quick reply!
