I tried using OBS to run a stream for the first time, however It crashed due to is using over 14 GB of RAM. I have the priority set to above normal and I have 16 GB of RAM installed on my PC. Here is the Log:

On my system, a dedicated streaming setup, a quick look at Task Manager shows OBS taking up 1GB while I stream..

Go to task manager
Click on Processes
Click on the Memory column to sort

Put up a snapshot of Task Manager showing us how much OBS64 is taking up in memory. I have a hard time believing it takes up 14GB.
 
I ran the auto config wizard and that seemed to clear things up. Sorry I couldn't get the screenshot but I ran out of memory more than once. Crashed my whole PC twice. :/ At least it is working now.
 
Well its good its working now. But when I read what you just wrote, this tells me that even with the wrong settings, OBS memory consumption is growing dynamically and without limitation to crash your system. That shouldn't happen if the software checked for overrun type of conditions or set buffer limits.
