Question / Help Stream crashes after some time

Hey there,
I have a problem with OBS Studio. When I start the stream anything is fine, but after about 15-30 minutes, the stream stops and OBS Studio is still running. Pressing "Stop Stream" will cause the software to stay in "Stopping Stream..." for minutes (and probably hours too) without really stopping the stream. When I try to close OBS, it says, that there is still a recording/stream going on and I should wait. Recording has the result, that it will not be finished so I cannot watch it.
I already searched some forums and most of them refer to CPU usage. As I've been streaming for a while, this has NOT happened before, so how could this be the problem now?

Thanks RytoEX, just wanted to let you know that this seemed to help. I just streamed for about 2 1/2 hours without any problems. I just had to disable the preview and it worked :)
Now really looking forward for a solution for this problem. Go for it, OBS Devs! ;D

It's not something OBS can truly fix, as it seems to be an Nvidia driver issue only on Windows 10 AU.

OBS Studio 0.16.3 does have a workaround built-in, but it's not perfect. It pauses briefly when the issue happens, and your recording/streaming output can turn green for a bit as a side-effect of handling the issue.
