OBS has been crashing and i'm at a loss.

[My Good Username]

I've been streaming for a month or so now and have begun encountering crashes on OBS and SLOBS (Switching between the two in an attempt to identify the issue). I will be streaming for roughly 45 mins to an hour before it happens. The crashes always make my screens go completely dark and then close my game and OBS or SLOBS (whichever i'm using at the time). It's become extremely irritating and I've tried everything: lowing bit rate and output resolution, changing the encoder from hardware to software, and overclocking my CPU and GPU. I usually get an error message saying something along the lines of "A problem occurred while streaming". I've posted a log below, hopefully someone will find my issue. ;-;

Your GPU is crashing, either from overclocking (including pre-overclocked cards), overheating, buggy drivers or faulty hardware.

I can rule out the overclocking and overheating, it happens with OC settings or without. The temperature remains below 60.C at the time of the crash. I'm also confused why it still crashes in the same exact way when I use software encoder... I did have issues with the card being recognized in my computer when I initially built it, which led to me installing a variety of RTX 2060 drivers in hopes of getting it recognized. Would it be wise to completely uninstall all my NVIDIA drivers and reinstall? How would I do that?

There's a guide to performing a completely clean driver install:
