OBS constant and random crashes

Hello!

I just made an account after weeks of searching (for a possible) solution for "my" constant crashes.
I've been using the Streamelements plugin, so after contacting them (I thought that the recent OBS update broke the plugin) they didn't have a clue what was going on.

Now I'm using the NDI plugin so I can stream from my 2nd PC, but that's not it... If someone can help me, that would be nice; since I don't have any more ideas about what to do.
The crashes started after updating to the latest version of the OBS, and they are completely random:
- sometimes after pressing the "Stream" button
- sometimes after 2 minutes
- sometimes after 1 hour
- you get the point

What I've tried:
- uninstall plugins
- uninstall obs
- clear registry traces
- revert to one of the previous versions (vent back a full year lol)
- change the audio from 48 to 44.1
- create separate sources so the display capture and game capture arent in the same scene
- update drivers
- reset bios
- using the default bios settings
- update bios
- repair windows (10)
- Upgrade Windows from 10 to 11
- reinstall a fresh windows (11)
- obs analyzer suggestions
- streamelements support

The reports indicates "Unhandled exception: c0000005" on the threads with the following addresses:
- libx264-164.dll
- kernel32.dll
- ntdll.dll

thanks,
Tom

Your PC is no longer stable. Try stress test it with x264-based encoders.

What does that mean? Possible CPU issue?
Tried OCCT and memtest and it was fine, looks like I'll need to find something else..
Thanks!

I can see that the issue is the same as mine...
Regarding the FFmpeg, I tried the code that you wrote there but I am getting some error which looks like the FFmpeg is not installed on my system.

Btw, I've tried prime95 today and didn't find any failures. I'm gonna try with Cinebench, Aida, prime and occt again

FFmpeg is command line util. It doesn't require installation. Its main .exe and .dlls (shared build) should be unpacked to some folder on user's PC. By specifying full path to the .exe file it can be used as any other command line util.

For example, the "ffmpeg-4.3.1-win64-shared.zip" (has a bit older libx264 core 161) can be found in old archives, like: https://archive.org/download/zeranoe/win64/shared/ - I think, even this older core may crash your PC in case there is HW instability. You may give it a try.

As far as I understand, OBS 30.2.3 uses libx264 (core 164) same as in FFmpeg 6.0
