Question / Help Started off strong, now a problem everyday

[Deadman9001]

hello everyone. I am going to just throw it out there now. I am using a laptop to stream and play games. I know, forgive me for I have sinned. Anyway I have read how much fun laptop streaming was. My first few attempts failed.. who would've guessed that EUIV and other high memory useage games wouldn't work well when using OBS? so I dumped the idea and moved to games I knew would work, Solar 2. Guess who had no problems? this guy. First night of official streaming, and I run 2 solid hours of Solar 2 and have maybe around or less than 1% of dropped frames, and no lag issues. I go right on to an emulator to play Legend of Zelda, and I have an issue, which I quickly diagnosed and fixed (overheating issue). I then proceed to play three and a half uninterrupted hours of Legend of Zelda off the Vizzed.com Emulator no dropped frames, until the very end it dropped a few. Day 2(yesterday) I go back to streaming, and this time I have a problem..the system went down, and down, and down again. Dumbfounded I tried to figure out what it was. I had internet, but the ping read grey and 0 kb/s. After dealing with this issue of resetting my internet modem, I noticed that the modem was having its own problems. Needless to say very late in my planned streaming schedule did I find a small window to stream 37 minutes without a problem, the internet stayed up long enough for me to complete the stream, and earn a new follower, hurray. Today however...was a whole new beast. Day 3 started with me doing the same thing I had done, start off with some music, go to me talking, getting situated. I then go onto the emulator like usual, only the game is lagging, and audio bugging out. My internet connection was good, but the FPS decided to have a field day on me. I failed to stream any solid content for Day 3 in the end. I tried preview mode and changing all of the resolution settings from 1.5 to 3.0 (the lowest resolution setting allowed..) and still saw very minimal improvement, and without anything else to turn to... I was forced to just quit trying to stream tonight.

My setup
I dual screen VGA to my TV, TV is used for Twitch chat and OBS so I can watch what the stream is seeing/keep an eye on the ping/dropped frames. etc.
Dell Latitude with i5, 4 GB Ram
1 TB external harddrive that holds most of the gaming files to save space on the computer
1 cooling fan base stand thing, plug in with a fan on it?
I use a standing fan in the room to blow cool air on it as well to aid the fan underneath, surprisingly does keep the laptop cool.
I do have Nvidia on the laptop, and followed one of the threads suggestions, I've done my research a little bit when planning to stream.

URL's lead to the log notes? or atleast the ones that I could upload
let me know if you need anything else

I have my x264 at ultrafast (it works and no one has complained about quality) Video Encoding max bitrate is 1000.

I'm just trying to figure out how I can try to fix this to make it run stable. I know, I know, get a desktop, unfortunatly I can't just run out and buy a new desktop for $400, or upgrade what I got, The only way I can think to get a desktop is to get a card and do some payment plan. I've also tried three east coast servers, the Miami one (I'm in Florida) the New York one and the one in VA, all of which had similar results tonight. Any advice is welcome, unless its get a desktop...because I can't get one right now

Not sure what's going on, something on your system is eating up all your CPU. You should be able to stream standard definition at least fairly well with that machine, so I'm unsure of what's going on. Perhaps you could lower the resolution of the webcam as well a bit? Probably no need for it to be at 720p I'm guessing. That will probably eat up a bit of CPU as well.

Otherwise not entirely sure. I hate not being able to be all that helpful, but sometimes I don't always have all the answers. It's difficult to really know enough without being in front of the computer.
