Bug Report OBS crashed several times while streaming today

[AccountingNightmare]

Hi! I've used OBS Studio for years and adore it. But today, it started crashing during my stream. Each time, I would reopen it and restart the stream almost immediately. It crashed a total of 3 times and then I managed to finish up the stream myself. I've attached the crash log from today and all the associated OBS logs I could find.

It might be related to Twitch issues? I've been having trouble staying connected to Twitch chat for the past few days in other people's streams, and today, OBS struggled to stay connected to chat as well (I was using the Chat dock). In Windows Event Viewer, I found a few errors like this:

Next time, I'm going to leave the Chat dock off and just use Chrome to monitor chat just in case.

Well damn, I have Chat dock off and was recording (not streaming) with OBS in the background of doing other stuff, and it crashed again. It didn't seem to create or update any crash logs either. Here's the OBS log.

I don't have my Nvidia drivers fully up-to-date (I have the previous month's driver - version 442.19) so I'll try updating those.

Apologies, it looks like this may be a hardware issue unrelated to OBS. Some of my games have started crashing as well.

The problem was my overclock had become unstable, so it's all sorted now.
