So, im experiencing random corruptions on average about 1 out of every 10 clips recorded. i record in MKV and then remux to mp4, when corruption occurs only part of the video will be corrupted, for example it might play for a few seconds then freeze on a single frame for 30-60 seconds and then go back to normal.
This has only been happening for maybe the past 2-3 months. i've tried reinstalls, running the auto wizard for recording settings, updating Windows and GPU drivers ect and im getting to the end of my ropes now trying to figure out what is going on. anybody have any ideas? logs attached.
EDIT: this is a section of the most recent log for the clip that corrupted.
