Question / Help OBS Freezing While on Stream or Recording

Hello,

I've been using OBS for quite a while and had absolutely no problems with my streams or video recording. Recently, I had to reformat my hard drive due to a corrupted file system. Once I had my Windows platform up, and fully patched, I noticed my OBS has been freezing a lot during Stream only, Record Only and Stream & Record. This has never happened before.

Here is my on the most recent stream I've attempted.
