Hello
I am a full-time streamer and this is an issue I have had for ages, across multiple versions of OBS, reinstalls and different hardware.
To give a brief overview:
It generally happens after streaming for a while, but when attempting to change source (e.g. double-clicking on "Game Capture") the capture configuration window will show but the capture preview will be black. After this, the stream bandwidth drops to "0 kbps" and crashes. After the stream crashes, OBS hangs and can't be quit. The program must be closed via the task manager after this happens. Attempting to click anywhere else usually causes the GUI to turn all black or all white. The docked chat is still usable during this. When starting the stream back up, after losing hundreds of viewers, the stream has a good chance of coming back with no audio due to the Twitch VOD track bug.
I have tried streaming without any of the three browser sources I use and it still happens.
Incidentally, after streaming today, I turned on my 4K display to change to another game and the displays went all black for a while, flashing intermittently only for the stream to crash again. Ultimately, I had to end my stream.
I don't know why this happens but as for the latter issue, it seems like an issue with Windows reconfiguring display order or some communication problem between the display(s) and the GPU.
Since OBS hangs and can't be exited (it doesn't close by itself, even after hours) it doesn't produce a crash log. Instead, it only produces a general log, which I've attached.
I've tried turning off GPU scheduling and all that and still the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
