Question / Help OBS kicks back "graphics driver stopped working error"

I've been using OBS lately and really like it.

Been streaming the game Space Engineers quite a bit, but today I started getting issues.

After 15-20 minutes ingame the screen goes black, like it's alt-tabbing, but then puts me back in game. The Stream on Twitch.TV stops, and when I alt-tab out I see there is a popup box with an error message in OBS.

I don't have a screenshot of it, but it says there is an error with the graphics driver, and something about the x264 being set to custom settings which might be the problem.

The Custom x264 Encoder settings are not ticked off.
I recently updated to the newest Nvidia drivers.

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit (Service Pack 1)
DirectX version: 11.0
GPU processor: GeForce GTX 680
Driver version: 335.23

This only happens when I am streaming the game Space Engineers.. unsure why. I posted a thread in the Space Engineers technical help forum as well since I'm unsure if it's OBS, Space Engineers or Nvidia drivers.

I did stream multiple other games, World of tanks, theHunter to mention two.. and had no issues or crash with those games, even after hours of streaming.

I uploaded the log file, however there are no logs under the "crashDumps" folder... so seems it's not really crashing?

No idea what is happening or why it just started happening...

I think that is the latest stable version. But try using Nvidia drivers version 332.21, the latest two versions have some issues like this, at least with Planetside 2 anyways. 332.21 is the latest that is known to work without issues.
