Question / Help OBS Studio crashes every 10 minutes of streaming

[Paul Tyu]

Hello guys , here are my specs:
Ryzen 7 1700
Gigabyte ab350 Gaming 3 with the lastest AGESA 1.0.0.6 bios
Corsair Vengeance LED ddr4 2x8gb 3000mhz (running at whatever speeds, tested them all)
Zotac GTX 1070 AMP! edition
Logitech C920
Windows 10 PRO with all the latest updates
Latest version of OBS Studio
So as i mentioned before every 10-15 minutes of streaming results in obs crash with crash report and leads to closing of program. Any help appreciated, got more logs and reports if needed.
Log file and crash reports included , thanks.
P.S. Running as administrator doesn't help much.

Your crashing in the x264 software encoder. Its probably due to these funky settings:
02:03:25.483: [x264 encoder: 'streaming_h264'] preset: medium
02:03:25.483: [x264 encoder: 'streaming_h264'] profile: high
02:03:25.483: [x264 encoder: 'streaming_h264'] tune: film

Keep it simple. Change to:

• Preset: veryfast
• Profile: None
• Tune: None

Download all current drivers for Realtek, Logitech C920, Gigabtye motherboard, and the Nvidia GTX 1070.
Even if you think you have done this already, repeat again.

Don't overclock yet. Roll everything back and get it stable first with standard hardware settings.

I have a very similar system to yours so I am basing this on my own personal research and settings.

Well, thats a disaster having powerful setup and using just a litte bit of it. I was happily streaming at core i5-6600k with settings you mentioned. The point of upgrade was to use the slower preset to improve picture quality.
Could you please try my settings to your stream and see if its okay ?

Two tests run 15 minutes apiece on a private YouTube stream with those settings and no crash.

Looking at quality of both streams on review... they were not that great.

As i thought.
Any other options excluding stream settings ?

Forget what you already know about my system and your previous system. You need to figure out what works and what doesn't for your current system.

After review of the test streams, those settings didn't improve the quality - they actually looked worse. This, with a more powerful 1700X as well.

Get it to work with the simple setting I gave you. Then tweak.

Good luck

Downgraded my output resolution from 1920x1024 to 1280x768 and now it works fine, but still i can't feel satisfied.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

x264 is well tested, so crashes generally indicate hardware failure rather than any settings being wrong. Turn off overclocks, check for microcode updates (BIOS), check your RAM.
