About 4 days ago I started having problems with OBS. It crashing usually around 30 minutes. Because of that I reinstalled windows updated GPU drivers and all that.
When it crashes I cannot close OBS and I can't shut down the PC I have to manually unplug it from power. The disk usage also jumps to 100% when it crashes. I also don't think it's a hardware issue since I don't have crashes while gaming.
Logs:

For some reason no crash folder.

Any help appreciated.

In Windows Event viewer (right-click Windows start button -> Event viewer), look into the System event log and investigate if you don't have some disk error. Your description matches the symptom of a hard drive becoming defective. OBS and Windows are trying to write to a defective part of your hard drive, this fails, and the system hangs. In addition, run disk drive analysis software for your hard drive - that's often manufacturer specific.

Oh yeah there is an error saying "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block". Thanks for the help.
