OBS crashing randomly since last update : obs-streamelements-core.dll!memory_depleted+0x2 (memory related ?)

Hello,

I'm quite new on this forum, I have to ask for help since since I had encountered many crashes on OBS since the last update, that I installed last week. Before that, everything worked perfectly fine, never encountered a crash before. Since then, my RAM is constantly rising until OBS crashes. I don't know what to do, because it crashes even when I'm in safe mode.
The only thing that I'm sure is that when I'm streaming using applications/games that requires many RAM memory seams to accelerate the crashes coming.

I posted my last crash log down here. But each time, I see the same trigger for the crash "obs-streamelements-core.dll!memory_depleted+0x2". I don't know what it means, and I can do. So please, if anyone have a hint to guide me, because I can't stream anymore because of that.


My computer components :
Gigabyte Z390 UD
Intel Core I5 9600-K
2x8 GB HyperX Fury 3200 MHz
MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT
Gigabyte GP-B700H
 
Looks like the streamelements plugin is causing memory issues. Try removing it to see if you have the same issue.
 
Unistalled it earlier, and kept crashing ... Even in safe mode I had a crash.
On this afternoon, during what was supposed to be a 3 hour stream on Zelda BOTW, I crashed 7 times, 2 with the streamelements plugin, one after unistalling it, and all the others after uninstalling, reinstalling and rebooting my computer ...
 
The second crash looks like it's from the virtual camera somehow. Can you provide a normal log file as well?
 
You have several sources that are configured to loopback OBS' own virtual camera. Is that intentional? Can you duplicate your scene collection, remove those specific virtual camera loopback sources, and see if the crashing still occurs?

This still smells like a memory issue somewhere else on the PC that happens to be taking OBS down with it, but it's very difficult to say.
 
Thanks for the answer. I don't really understand what it means, since english is not my native langage, but I'll try to reshape everything related to my virtual camera.
Since the last message, I revert back to OBS 30.0.0, and after two days, it was way more stable. But earlier, I had another crash. I'll give you the two normal logs, before and after the crash, and the crash log.
Perhaps it will confirm your theory, or there will be other issues.
Thanks by advance.

Yes, the new crash is definitely OBS running out of memory, but nothing immediately jumps out as to why that is happening.
 
I remeber that when the crash occured, the chrome window that I was showing on my stream froze, when the others on my others screens continued to work. And that occured when my PC was using 75% out of it's 16GB memory, and I saw no spike.
I'm not skilled in memory management, so if you have general advices, I'll take them gladly, because without OBS, I can't stream anymore ...
