Here are a couple of logs from today.

OBS was working A+. Now on startup it freezes and the computer shuts down. Big fan sound as it does.

Working well on other computers with the exact same set up.

The software was working. Not sure what has happened, no major changes. Bootcamp.

*The OBS crash folder is empty. Here are a couple of windows crash reports. Please let me know what else I can provide.

Shutdown of the PC means hardware error (likely, next in the log should be initialization of global audio devices, WASAPI engine, and your hardware fails).

Of course, you may try to run OBS portable mode in different folder (for portable, read after the "if it was not clear" words: https://obsproject.com/forum/thread...»-when-opening-app-settings.82157/post-346499 ). This may help only in case OBS files were damaged.

You may find online how to repair your OS and install device drivers. If nothing helps - your PC needs repair.

Thank you. - My hardware has not changed. (The is a Mac running bootcamp). This machine had no issues with OBS until one day it did.

So it sounds like you are saying something (like Drivers or updates) has changed the ability for the software to run. Handbrake and Adobe Premiere still running fine.

Any further ideas? Grateful for the help.

I am about to give it a try. I will follow your instructions. - I will keep the program as-is, and begin after the 'If it was not clear".

Thank you again, Suslik V.
