I just started having problem with my obs today. It started to crash I decided to check my memory and noted it was at 15.7/16GB so pretty my at 99% when I closed obs it dropped to 3/16GB I remember the last thing I installed yesterday was audio monitor plugin, Virtual cable, and voice meter. I'm not using none of them yet. I ran the analyzed and follow the recommendation to change my color range to partial in OBS advance setting. Also disabled game background record on my window pc but the problem still happening. Can somebody help me out. Check my log file https://obsproject.com/logs/IL5OmjWCKsglaLj6

That's just crazy. It might be time for a fresh start or at least start removing everything you're not using.

It probably has nothing to do with your memory woes but your Nvidia driver looks like it's 441.xx from early 2020. Since you're running on Windows 2009 an update might be in order.
This is pretry much a fresh start. This computer is about a month old. It has to be something running in obs. Ok so kind of found out what was eating my Ram memory. I have few video like starting soon, also an intro video I use something. They are in different scenes but it look like they were running even tho the scenes was not active. I went into every scenes, double clicked all media files and added a check in (close file when inative) doing this brought my computer usage ram to 6.3/16GB. Now in the provcess of installing virtual cable and voice meter again since I uninstalled them thinking that was the problem. If anything change I will keep you posted. I hope this help somebody else having same problem
Nvidia drivers are old ? Strange this computer is about a month old and I had done every update to it. Ok so I just check my driver. i have a GeGorce RTX 2060 graphic card, Drivers version: 442.23 Driver type: DCH direct l3D API version:12 . Do I need to update it. I don’t see any option fro nvidia drivers update

Yep, it all adds up even if they're not active.
442.23 looks like it's about a year old. I don't have that particular version but since I installed my GTX-1660 Super roughly a year ago, here's all of them that I've downloaded directly from Nvidia since the install. FWIW, I currently have Studio Driver 452.06 installed. I've installed a few of the newer drivers but I've had issues with them crashing while I'm working in Vegas & a few other apps. 452.06 has been nice & stable for me & it was one of the last drivers Nvidia released before the 3000 series was released.

I forgot to mention driver 446.14 & newer will also give you another encoder session if you ever need (3). I'm usually running at least (1) recording & (2) streams concurrently with OBS so that extra session really comes in handy. My 6700k pretty much just stays right around 30% utilized even when I have OBS cranking & I'm also doing a second recording with NDI.
what file file type do you recommend. I use mp4 because I usually compress it with Handbreak to a small size. I actually have the streamelents plugin no login. But yeah I do use is some time.

Not logging in to the streamelements plugin isn't enough for us. If you have browser sources in your scenes and/or are using the browser docks in any way, it's using their modules instead of ours, and we generally recommend removing their plugin if there's performance issues like this when using it.
The streamelements plugin itself doesn't offer any functionality benefit to core OBS.

Thank you for your reply. I ended up removing the stream elements plugin. Because my obs keep on freezing when I play mp4 clip. I’m not sure is this will fix my problem but since I’m not using it at the moment I want to see if the the freezing problem stop
