Question / Help OBS Keeps Crashing

[TeamLongevity]

My OBS keeps crashing when I'm trying to stream.. I'm not really sure what the problem is as I have tried several different options..

I have tried 1080/60fps, 720p60fps , anywhere from medium pre-set to very fast pre-set, all having the same issue of "Encoding problem, blah blah" and it gives me an error message, after I click it, it closes OBS.

I have attached a few of the logs that I received tonight.. with my current PC hardware I figure I shouldn't have this issue..?

Can you get the exact error message, and check if you have any OBS crash logs? The normal logs don't tell us anything.

Press WinKey+R or go to Start > Search and type %APPDATA%\obs-studio\crashes. The contents can be copied to https://gist.github.com/ and then linked here.

Here are the crash logs...

Sorry I was in the process of getting them while you posted that.

Just a FYI, these crashes occurred while playing 2 different games ( H1Z1 and Player Unknown Battlegrounds)... I'm positive my computer can handle this, I'm just now entirely sure what is causing these crashes... I should be able to stream 1080p60fps no issues.

Any idea?

Looks like it's the x264 encoder itself that's crashing. Are you overclocking your CPU at all?

Yes my pc is overclocked, is this causing an issue? Should i be using default/stock cpu settings? With these cpus i figured we can over clock and still stream?

Yes, but a crash in the x264 encoder is consistent with an unstable overclock. It's more more sensitive to CPU errors in that kind of situation than most applications will be.

10-4 i will back off on my OC and report back.
