Question / Help OBS crash

[Wesbee]

Hi guys. My OBS crashes after couple hours of streaming.

CPU: i5-4690K overclocked to 4.5GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
8GB RAM

Streamig 30fps, 720p, 2600 bitrate
Please help me find the problem. Couple crash dumps below.

Your overclock is unstable.

What does that mean? I have no blue screens, all programs/games working great. Run the test under 100% load for couple hours. Like is that your guess or you know for certain?

libx264 crashes have two causes
1> on intel chips, unstable overclocks.
2> on AMD Ryzen chips, microcode issues.

Solutions
1> intel, turn down your overclock
2> amd ryzen, update your bios

Thank you for the comprehensive answer. I'll try to increase core voltage a little while the temp stays in reasonable range. If that will not help than will decrease core multiplier i guess.

Finaly managed to find stable voltage using Intel Burn Test. Streamed couple days already without crashes.

Thank you guys for helping me in solving this issue. <3
