Question / Help OBS Not Responding

[GLHF2GGWP]

When I open OBS it is fine, however after clicking Start Preview or Start Stream it becomes "Not Responding".

My PC Specs are: Intel i7-3630QM
Nvidia 670MX
12 GM RAM
750 GB HDD

If you have fast upload: Right click obs.exe in task manager and choose create dump, zip it and upload it to http://www.copy.com and PM the link to me.

I had the same problem on Win7 x64 with OBS 0.542b.

I had deleted all of the data and reinstalled and still had not responding.

Your crash dump seems to show that OBS is freezing when trying to initialize audio. What audio devices are you using? Check your default playback and recording devices and make sure they aren't in use by other programs and that any 3rd party audio extensions / filters are disabled.

I experienced a similar problem. I messed with every setting I could think of. I changed my webcam from 1920x1080 to 640x480. Every time I started to stream or hit preview it would freeze for 10 sec+. What fixed it for me was changing the FPS to 30 from 60.
