Helly everyone,
So I have a question for you guys..
I used to be able to stream perfectly fine.. Streamed for straight up 8 hours and tried re-opening OBS Studio after, then suddenly stopped working completely. Now, what happens is that it doesnt even startup anymore, everytime I click it, theres some sort of glitchy thingy for like 0.15 S on my screen and then it dissapears. Its on my taskmanager, but I cant actually open it. Every 2nd time I try to open it, it completely freezes my screen, unable to move the mouse or do anything with it. Only way is to hard boot it, which is making me lose motivation to even try fixing it.


Help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a bad device driver, OBS can't cause a complete system freeze as it doesn't load any drivers. Check drivers for all your peripherals are updated, especially webcam / capture cards etc.
