OBS Recording from Zoom Q2n freezes after 3 to 4 minutes.

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me before I throw things out of my window.

Have a Zoom Q2n camera connected to my Windows PC via USB. Wanting to use it as a recording cam. Have the camera defined within OBS, all 'seems' to be OK there, OK quality needs to be tweaked maybe. But every time I try and record after 3 or 4 minutes the recording on screen freezes, sound continues to record, but no video. I have to exit out of OBS each time as stopping the recording and restarting doesn't fix it.

The Q2n has the latest firmware, the drivers are the latest. Running Windows 10 10.0.19041, 8 Gb RAM, Ryzen 5 3400GE processor.

Have been monitoring the PC on Task Manager and the processing and Memory are barely being utilised at all.

Have tried running the Q2n with batteries installed and not, same issue each time.

I have attached the latest log file.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

Should say I am only using the cam to record me playing my guitar, with sound coming from an external sound interface. Not running anything too graphic intensive. Getting the issue whether I am also running my DAW or not.

Beginning to think it might be the camera. I went and bought a cheap 30 quid 1080p webcam and set it up, and that has been recording, albeit the first time of trying, for the past 13 minutes without a hitch.
