OBS is constantly crashing!

[TheDaveCalaz]

Hi all, I've had to sign up for an account here as recently my OBS has been crashing at the start and during my streams. It's infuriating as I've not had this problem since I started using OBS weeks ago, yet over the past 2 days it has crashed and completely ruined my streams. I haven't changed anything in the systems to cause a crash, as far as I'm aware no drivers have been updated and no drivers need updating. It has just decided it doesn't want to work and continues to constantly crash. Can anyone give me any help whatsoever, I'm begging you!

I'm getting a message that says "An encoder error occured while streaming."

Whatever video capture device you're using is leaking memory, eventually OBS runs out and crashes.
