Question / Help OBS Recording Stops after One Second

Recently, I decided to try to make my own videos for World of Warcraft as well as record my guild's raiding runs for promotional use. So, I installed OBS, and after getting everything set up, I tested it out on a solo boss fight to see how the quality was, and to test sound levels. However, I noticed something. When viewing the recorded video, it literally only showed a few frames and then the video ended after about a second. I asked my friend who uses OBS as well for recording and streaming, and after going over the settings, he couldn't find out what was wrong.

I am currently using an HP 15-f033wm laptop running Windows 10, and I am trying to record World of Warcraft patch 6.2.4.21355. I have the hotkey for starting the recording set to * on my number pad and the key to stop the recording set to / on the same number pad to avoid accidentally starting or stopping the recording in the middle of my skill rotation.

I am not looking to stream using OBS, merely record. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Well, it now records the full length, but now there's a black screen.

Here's the log file from this last attempt, which went over 12 minutes:

The Celeron CPU in your laptop is acting as the CPU and GPU, and its not good enough to do both WoW and OBS at the same time. Essentially, your computer isn't strong enough to record your gameplay.
