Question / Help OBS Crashing being Idle or While Streaming

[I_TheReturn_I]

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to OBS and forums, but I'm hoping by posting my log I could get help to figure out why OBS has been crashing randomly on me. My log before it crashed will be posted below and I'm using the most up to date version of the software.

Specs:
i7 4790k
32GB RAM (DDR3 I believe)
GTX 970 Stix

While that's not a crash log, I see a few things wrong.

First, you're running the 32bit OBS. Chances are, your crash is OBS running out of memory, but without the crash log hard to say. (you can get a crash log by pressing WinKey+R or going to Start > Search and type %APPDATA%\obs-studio\crashes. The contents can be copied to https://gist.github.com/ and then linked here.)

Second, you're using the Media Foundation NVENC encoder. You should probably change that to the newer ffmpeg based version that's been in OBS for ages.

So below is the crash log (Thanks for the way to locate it). I changed my recording encoder to x264 for recording and x264 was already set for streaming. when streaming it stays ~24% usage.

I think this is a better link. I wasn't sure how to use pastebin.

That crash is likely you running out of memory. Try running the 64bit OBS instead.

So I'm not too tech savy (my cousin built my PC), but how do I run the 64bit? I thought I downloaded the 64bit version. Thanks for your help and patience.

I actually figured it out. Thank you Fenrir so much for your help!

Best,
