OBS Crashes during live stream - Freezes Laptop

[Djonthe1sand2s]

I'm on a Dell G15 gaming laptop, ig, 3050 RTX with OBS Studio as the main program installed. Within 30 minutes OBS will crash and freeze the laptop. I ran OBS analyze tools and corrected any Critical or Warning msgs. I'm on the lasted OBS version and lasted Windows 11 and OBS still crashes.

Here's a previous log file. https://obsproject.com/logs/LizOpJ57nTP1bh5n

Attached are log/crash files

See LOTS of other threads... OBS Studio itself crashing the OS is extremely rare, with some saying not a thing
Using OBS Studio, or any real-time video encoder, is very demanding and can push systems to limits, but usually hard crashes usually end up being determined to be hardware or driver issue

As for the log - all those errors loading files... not likley a direct cause, but that isn't helping. You need to clean up your Sources

My recommendation to test
- set up OBS Studio in portable mode (a separate install) with NO plugins (especially not streamelements). And beware OBSbrowser pointing to streamelements.. don't do that for the test. And try again (streaming /recording). I suspect your system will be fine.

When using chromakeying, be sure to be monitoring for CPU usage, and that you aren't running into CPU bottlenecks
