obs is crashing my computer

[Random-Streamer]

I'm seeing hardware issue everywhere, so don't relay on my opinion a lot.

The "Device Remove/Reset!" is bad, and means restart of the graphics driver. It is no good. Driver can restart because of error in the driver itself or because of malfunction hardware.

i dont understand how it would only be confined to just obs if it were a hardware issue though

There are even more strange examples - where only x264 encoder can identify problems with overclocking (some can be found on this forum too).
Maybe 5 hardware encoding tasks is not common job for other applications you are using, thus OBS is only a trigger to the issue. I can only guess here.

I'm pretty sure that we can rule out hardware. I tossed it on different mobo with with a bigger power supply fresh graphics drivers, tossed my old 3080 on it to check and see if the 3090 was dying. Tried swapping a bunch of things around. Still keep getting the nvanc crash. I'm thinking there's software somewhere that's all of a sudden not wanting to play nicely.

Looks like a hardware failure of the RTX 3090. The log entries in the 2 regular logfiles indicate a resource issue (1st log) within the driver, which is unusual and points to unexpected hardware behavior within the driver. The 2nd log is more direct (device remove/reset): This is a direct crash or unexpected hardware behavior. Now you changed the computer and just moved the RTX 3090, and the error moved with it. The constant thing is the GPU, so I say this is the culprit.

To make it clear, do it the other way round: use your original computer but a different GPU. The error will probably vanish.
