Question / Help Runtime Error! OBS is crashing after 5minutes-1hour+

Whenever I run OBS (64bit) after about 5 minutes to sometimes 1 hour my OBS will freeze, this error message appears and then it will immediately crash after I click ok:

Upon looking into similar issues on these forums I cant find a solution, I've tried reinstalling OBS, the visual studio 2013 redistributables, repairing them, updating the .NET framework etc. Nothing software wise seems to fix this issue.

I recently upgraded my hardware (MB, CPU & RAM) on my PC & removed all old MB drivers etc.
So I even tried to follow the advice of it maybe being a hardware issue and tested OBS running at my OC & stock speeds of both my RAM & CPU; the error still occurs.

I've run my memory through multiple memtest programs and memtest86, the sticks are not bad. My CPU has passed multiple stress tests at stock and OC'd levels of performance so I really doubt the CPU is bad as well.


My log file uploaded below appears to be encountering a different fatal error than what anyone else on these forums with the same runtime error is reporting.

I'm going to test and see if this is occurring on the 32 bit version of OBS, and possibly test it with some spare sticks of RAM I have just to be completely sure it isn't that. I'll report back with whatever happens but I really could use some help, I'm streaming full time atm and this is a major problem for me.

Anything to fix this issue would be majorly appreciated!

Unfortunately the log shows one of your media sources or video devices is causing the issue, but not which one. Try removing files / devices one by one until the problem goes away.

Would it matter if said media source or video capture devices are in the current scene, because if so I can narrow it down to basically just my webcam that's likely causing this. I'll try out what you said regardless haha, I'm just curious!

It turns out it was my webcam and it's driver so I reinstalled it as a generic video device and that appears to have fixed the problem.

I'll create a new thread if something happens that brings up the error again but for now this looks fixed.

Thank you so much!
