Question / Help OBS using a lot of CPU

[Schyler]

Hello,

After the last update, OBS has been using almost 30% of my cpu. I am using a i7-4790k OC'D to 4.7 GHz water cooled, and a GTX 980 Ti.
Last stream log: https://gist.github.com/044e4d2d98805d07d001f37339fd5105

30% isn't a lot by any stretch of the imagination. You're barely using a full physical core worth of the processor.

Its causing the PC to crash. I use 1 pc to stream. It hasn't ever had any issues until the last update

IF your whole system is crashing, it's something else.

This is the only program that has an issue. It is OBS causing my system to crash. Xsplit isnt having any issues

Then provide more details than the high cpu usage.

I posted a log.

And it doesn't reveal anything wrong.

When I start streaming, it starts at 10% then goes to 30% and lags my game and then causes my pc to crash. I have tried resetting the OC and that didn't help.

i would say your OC isn´t stable. simple as that

Even if I went back to it not being overclocked, it still crashes my machine. I have stress tested my OC for 8 hours before and it was fine. Its OBS.

OBS is not capable of directly causing system crashes/reboots/BSODs, it can only trigger other underlying issues that may result in that type of behavior.

Its not even a crash. It freezes then has a buzzing noise then shuts down.

And OBS isn't capable of directly causing that either. You're free to blame OBS I guess but that isn't going to fix the system issue you're experiencing.

Then what is it? If no other program is causing this issue?

That's for you to determine, these forums are for OBS support and not general system troubleshooting.

That´s typical for having unstable OC
