So basically, I was gonna stream tonight, but all of a sudden, OBS was fucking up and giving me this error message. "Starting the output failed. Check the log for more details." Earlier today, I installed the Driver Booster from Iobit and updated some drivers. I thought that may have been the issue, so I then did a system restore. That didn't work either, so I went to the Radeon website (I don't use nivida) and updated the Radeon drivers. Even THAT didn't fuking work, so I updated my pc with the windows updater in the control panel. That did nothing, so I, as a last resort, flat out re-installed OBS. Shit still ain't working. I'll have an imgur link to my PC specs, and the text from the "log" that OBS created in response to me trying to stream.

Anyone who could by any chance help with my issue would be much appreciated! If you need to get in contact with me by any other means, I am on Steam and Twitter under the name "Bearded Expense" Thanks.

You should be able to manually fix this by modifying the bitrate, though I don't really know the exact reason why this happens. Still investigating.
