OBS IS USING EXCESSIVE RAM CAUSING OBS TO CRASH

[YounggMonk]

I just recently started using obs and my fist day using it I had 2 crashes but was mostly fine with a 3 hour long stream. I have 32 GB of ram and I am only streaming with 4500 bitrate at 720p60fps. I have no plugins, I am only using the base version of the latest update that OBS has. I have very few sources being used like Mic, webcam, capture card, with very few overlays across 4 scenes I have maybe 4 overlay sources total, I have 2 browser sources showing chat and recent followers. Last night and today I am consistently crashing at 20-30 mins of streaming. I had a lot of unused applications so I decided to just reset my computer to hopefully clean up my PC and have it run smoothly. I have done every recommended thing to fix OBS crashes. I am using a MINI gaming PC to stream and the specs seem totally up to par for the streaming I am doing. I checked my memory usage and it starts out fine at the beginning and than steadily rises to 96% RAM usage which it than crashes and drops down to around 25% RAM usage. Its very obvious to me that the RAM usage is what is causing the crashes but with me factory resetting my PC and with my very minimal usage of sources I do not understand how OBS is using so much RAM. My only thought is that the RAM in my system is somehow faulty, what should I do? I am very confused.

I have also been having this issue since the past three updates. For the past six months, I have been streaming and playing Elden Ring without any issues, but suddenly, my OBS shuts down. I have tried uninstalling and rolling back to previous versions. I have adjusted my stream settings and made scenes not available when not in use, but nothing is working.

The attached are my two most recent crashes. I would love to know what is happening when everything has been working fine for years.
