OBS freezing during one live stream but not other.

Hello. We live stream two services through OBS to YouTube at our church. One is at 9am and the other at 10:45. Our 9am service has been running smoothly, but at 10:45am, OBS has been freezing multiple times and needed to be restarted. Sometimes the video feed will freeze, and other times the audio will cut out. It works once restarted but then will inevitably do it again. Has anyone come across this erratic activity before or have any knowledge that could help? I was only able to attach one log because the others were too large.

If nothing else changes between services, then the only thing that IS changing is the length of time the PC has been on.
I'd suspectit is overheating and the CPU is throttling down to protect itself.

a desktop PC, properly ventilated shouldn't be overheating, and unless specific indicator of such, I would expect something else
Are you doing any basic hardware resource monitoring (ie CPU. GPU, RAM, etc)? [and temperature]
your Windows System event log should indicate if thermal throttling taking place... in my experience, overheating is not uncommon situation for gamers who overclock. for the rest of us, pretty uncommon

You could have a memory leak, and a reboot between service would help?? though that is a brute force, ugly way to fix a problem

Is there a reason you've left Game DVR mode enabled in Win10?
Why are you using 60fps for a House of Worship livestream/ do you REALLY need it?? you'll drop the h/w utilization by dropping to 30fps..
you have audio sampling at 2 different rates (look at you log to see). recommend fixing

your log is FULL of the following... it can't be helping... recommend identifying source and fixing
11:42:37.048: warning: Found EOI before any SOF, ignoring​
11:42:37.048: fatal: No JPEG data found in image​
11:42:37.048: Error decoding video​

or was that from creating the log with the camera source connected?? if yes, do you have the log from when you had a problem?
