When i open OBS and stream for a bit after a while my monitor flashes black and then everything will go black like in the screenshot, after the second time this happens my monitor stays black and i have to force restart my PC because my display no longer works.
I have been able to stream flawlessly for hours in the past but now this is making it so i cannot stream for even a few minutes. ...minutes.

(edit: i forgot this log is slightly out of date, i removed display capture sources in scenes where i use game capture but that did not help)

try rolling back the driver on your video card, the latest nvidia "game ready" driver does not work well with OBS, see instructions in the post just above yours.

Did you ever figure out how to fix it? I'm getting this same exact problem. It just started happening. After around 10 minutes of streaming all three of my displays just go black and my pc crashes. Nothing comes back on and I have to hold the power button. Game works completely fine for hours when not streaming using obs

Likely want to DDU the current driver and then install the previous release then don't upgrade till the issue is fixed
