Question / Help OBS Studio Crashing Constantly (18.0 64bit)

[TeamLongevity]

Hey guys, the last few days here I've been having constant problems with my OBS crashing and I'm not sure what the root of the problem is... I have literally the best gaming/streaming PC hardware, and I've changed my settings constantly to try to find what the issue is with no avail.

I'm currently only streaming on Youtube (plans to move to twitch later) but I'm trying to stream at 1080p 60fps. As far as I know I have all my settings correct, and again I've tried several different settings attempts.

I've tried anywhere from 4500bit rate to 9500 bitrate. I was streaming at 1440p 60fps a few days ago without issues @ 9500 bitrate, but now I'm just constantly crashing when trying to stream.. I don't even get to load my game, it crashes on my full webcam, or during an intro video, just haven't gotten anywhere and not sure what's going on.

I lowered my settings to 1080p 60fps to try to compensate, but still receiving same crashing over and over, lowered bit rate, same result. Please assist.

I've attached a few of my crash logs from this morning, as well last night to hopefully help you guys help me.

Your overclock might be that little bit too high.

More logs..

Your overclock might be that little bit too high.

That's what I find strange because I was able to stream at 1440p 60fps literally 2-3 days ago with no issues on the same overclock. My pc isn't crashing or anything, it's just OBS crashing... and it's not even utilizing 100%, OBS states its only at 25-35% from what I'm seeing before it crashes..

Posted a log setting as well

That log doesn't show your streaming attempt.

That log doesn't show your streaming attempt.

The first log on my post is the one I Just attempted streaming off of and crashed.

 

[TeamLongevity]

Matter a fact - I literally just now tried it again, and crashed... after maybe 2 mins? All I had it on was my webcam.

 

[TeamLongevity]

I'm assuming that the log isn't showing the "streaming stops" because as soon as I get the error, obs stops responding and crashes out.

 

[Harold]

Indeed.

AFAIK, x264 crashes have to do with slightly unstable overclocks.

Harold thanks... I fixed the issue. dialed back my overclock a bit and did a stress test prior to OBS to insure stablity, cranked up OBS and working perfectly.
