You may try restarting the computer (not just turning it off and on) to see if this helps fixind the issue.
If this not helps, then you may need to clean install the driver. Nvidia installer program have a custom process where you can tell it (click the box) to perfome a correct instalation.
Or you can use a more in depth solution:

got that program, uninstalled obs, reinstalled the drivers but now it will say the encoder is overloaded and when I view the recording it has like 1 frame every 3-4 seconds here's the log
I have a brand new RTX 4070 Ti and I don't really know the right settings

After you get the driver situation figured out, disable Game DVR & work on getting your Sample Rates matched up. The mismatches are causing audio to lag really bad.

Other than the low bit-rate, these settings are good. Preset can be P6 for 1080p. P7 will also work but you won't see a difference & it will lower the encoder throughput.

I think I manged that... but now it started doing the encoder thing again... And I'm sure my PC can handle it, the first day I got OBS I recorded Apex, playing on a 2K monitor with ultra settings with 165 framerate (vsync on), it it went fine till it started crashing... I am hopeless, Tried some stuff in the past hours but I'm not that computer savy

Game DVR can be found/disabled in Windows settings.

Cam link is @ 48K.

Driver crashed again. Rollback to the last driver that worked correctly for you.

For your encoder settings, change to Preset P6 & uncheck Look-ahead & Psycho Visual Tuning. The minor encoding lag should go away.

Looking at too many logs, I just realized you're recording not streaming.

CBR is meant for streaming, for the next test, use VBR or CQP rate control. If you decide to try CQP, set CQ=18 to get started.

I disabled DVR, and restored to 2 days ago, that seems to do the trick, now I record in P7 with no problem, hope the issue won't come back, really appreciate everything you guys did for me <3 DO you have any last tips for me as to the settings I should use? I am a bigginer as you figured. Now I record in 1080p 60fps at 12k bit rate and here are my logs: https://obsproject.com/logs/Y376MCYOTSEclfnt
Everything works and looks fine, but I heard you can also increase the bitrate, is that needed?

So, after a bit of playing around, I stopped the signal to my capture card (since I'm recording on the same PC as the Capture card is on and after a bit of research it's useless) and started recording in display capture and it works wonders, but the first time I recorded it was throught the capture card and worked fine... no idea why
