OBS /w StreamElements crashed 2x within 1.5 hour of stream

OBS crashed 3 times total and I can't seem to pinpoint what the issue issue. Happened twice on stream and once (offstream) with just the app opened, not recording or streaming. I did notice previously on a different day when I was recording, I saw that the app closed itself and I didn't think anything at the time but now looks like it crashed then as well, so probably more than what I've mentioned so far.

Noticed the first crash where the app just closed itself entirely and the second crash, had an error that I don't remember what it said (no screenshot unfortunately).
Last crash had the "woops, OBS has crashed" and created a log file.
Ran the OBS crash analyzer and everything checked out as fine.
Ran the app as local user and run as admin, both crashed still (yes I've restarted as well just to be sure).


Note: The crashes happened on a secondary PC, where the only thing it is doing is just capturing/streaming and its only sole purpose.
Computer is up to date on updates and drivers.
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700
GPU: GTX 1660 ti
RAM: 2x8gb 3200hz
OBS version: 26.1.1
Encoding: NVENC
Windows ver 2004 - 19041.746
No overclocks

Any help is appreciated here.

If you have the StreamElements OBS.Live plugin installed, it's STRONGLY recommended to remove it, as it replaces several core modules with less-stable versions, and is generally un-needed as you can add virtually all of the OBS.Live functionality via Custom Docks in standard OBS Studio.

As it appears that libcef.dll is causing the crash (the browser source), and I'm relatively certain that's one of the modules that OBS.Live replaces, I'm going to point a finger at the plugin as the cause.

Just uninstalled, and restarted. Will give that a go and see if it happens to still crash.

I'm using stream elements as well, Having a similar issue crashes, freezes, and kills my game just started in the last week after I updated SEL, I'll try uninstall and reinstall less the live.

Thanks for the info
