Question / Help OBS Studio Keeps Crashing (3 logs included)

This is commonly caused by an unstable overclock. Are either of your overclocking?

EDIT: The thread you linked is a completely unrelated crash, none of the advice there is relevant to this crash.
 
That thread is old, and unrelated.

BrutallStatic -- are you overclocking or anything? Seeing a crash in x264 like that usually indicates some sort of system instability.
 
I've lowered my OC to 4.2GHz. I'll report back with a new crash report if anything occurs.

Any other information that seems relevant would be fantastic. Thank you.
 
NeuroSephiroth - you are indeed having the same crash. I took a look at the thread you created (not the thread you linked). The thread you linked was to an unrelated issue from way back in 2014.

But like with BrutallStatic, this crash usually happens if there's some sort of system instability. We did not update the x264 module between patches (code and binary is unchanged), so it wasn't caused by updating or anything -- there has to be something going on with the system.
 
I don't mind you using this thread. Something posted here may help me if OCing isn't the culprit. BTW, no crashes since lowering my OC. I'll keep this thread updated.
 
Fair. I don't have anything OC'd, I usually have OBS output at 720p with 1800 bitrate, Ankhbot, Streamlabels, and the game I'm playing running, CPU is usually at 25-30%, though in my instance it was at ~35% today when I was playing Bioshock. I assume instability refers to something other than high CPU usage?
 
When I say instability I mean hardware instability. Things not working correctly due to OC, things generally being unstable. x264 stresses the CPU quite a bit, so it will expose any latent hardware instability if there is any (like can happen with an OC)
