OBS Slowing down computer massively despite not doing so a month before

As the title says. OBS has, in the past week, been constantly slowing my PC down to the point where its nearly unusable. During today's attempt at streaming, my entire computer froze for around 10 seconds or so. Despite the fact that less than a month ago it was all working fine, I have made no hardware changes nor have I made many software changes, just the usual driver updates and such. I apologise that I can't offer much help as to why this happening, as I honestly have no idea. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, downgraded OBS, downgraded graphics drivers, upgraded graphics drivers. Nothing seems to offer any fix.
Attached are logs from my attempt at streaming yesterday and today. Please ignore the HAGS enabled in the one today, I was desperate and was trying anything in an attempt to get it to work properly. Attached also is a crash log from today.

Yesterday
Today

I will be eternally grateful of any help offered, this issue is driving me bananas.

Thought I should also include my specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X 8 Core
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB
RAM: 32GB of 1200MHz DDR4
OS: Win10 Home 64-bit Build 19045

Have you completed all the corrections recommended by log analyzer? All problems are on the surface.
Still needs to be updated StreamFX and SE.Live

Bringing up StreamFX is irrelevant as I do not have that installed.
I've already installed the latest version of SE.Live as well as the latest version of OBS (29.0.0), I've already taken care of the suggested corrections by the analyser to seemingly no gain. I'm not sure how to fix the "audio buffering" issue, it says something about "device timestamps". Should the 'Use device timestamps' button be off in OBS? If it helps I use VoiceMeeter Potato so that I can have discord audio separate from game audio, but I'm not sure this is causing any issues.
Also, I've had some weird audio crackling issues since I restarted streaming on Tuesday. When I tried today, as I started the game all audio (including the discord call I was in) was static until I changed the device in VoiceMeeter to use MME instead of WDM. Is that relevant at all?

Please make a video recording of one minute and send a new log file after what you have already done.
I apologize for StreamFX, apparently I got a little confused.

I've done my best to mimic my normal streaming setup and there's seemingly no issues, I did a two minute recording along with a minute private stream to YouTube and the log analysis doesn't show anything wrong. Maybe I've fixed it after my tinkering?
If it starts happening again I'll come back to this thread to update
Here are the logs:
Recording
Streaming
(though I guess these are the same logs sorta)

Now your log file looks good, there are no errors. Except for the StreamElements, which is always generating a ton of text and errors. Try to switch to a wired internet connection if possible. Wi-Fi is not reliable for data streaming.

My streams have been going well for the past few days, I recently upgraded my CPU going from a 2700X to a 5700G and that seems to have fixed a lot of problems. However, OBS crashed just today at around 12:20 AEST, yet didn't produce a crash log. I can't be sure what happened as I wasn't present at my computer when the crash occured, but could it have something to do with StreamElements?
Attached is the log
