OBS crashing weirdly

[JACOBcze]

Hello, I upgraded my PC from DDR4 to DDR5 (motherboard, CPU, RAM) and Win10 to Win11.

After that my OBS started mysteriously crashing. What happens is that the bitrate drops to 0 (still shows green and doesnt disconnect) and the whole app freezes. There is no notification, only after I take any action in OBS myself it states the app Unresponsive.

It's insanely annoying and no idea why this happens, I send one of my regular logs in case you guys can figure something out (crash logs dont work for it).

I tried complete reinstall, delete all plugins and using an older version of OBS, nothing helped.

I should add that the CRASH happens very sporadicaly. On average i would assume it happens every 3-4 hours.

You have intalled streamelements plugins. Any issue with it must be ask to them.

I reinstalled it after its removal didnt fix my issue

Update: I did the recommendation from analyzer thanks to @PaiSand and turned off Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler. As I said the crash happens sporadically, but after turning it off, it didnt crash for 3 streams straight.

It would also make sense that I might had it turned off on my win10 and it auto turned on on win11 when I changed my PC.

If I no longer respond to this thread this was the solution.
