Hello guys!
I try to stream league of legends on a fx6300,8gb ram,r9 280x and an internet with 94 mb download,88 mb upload but my stream keeps stopping after like 10-15 minutes.
My bittrate is set to 1800 by the way.
 
Please post a logfile from the Help menu, and paste the link here so we can see what is going on.

Are viewers reporting the stream dying? Is it popping up the 'reconnecting' dialog? Stopping is a bit ambiguous, can mean a number of failure states.
 
Still haven't said what you mean by 'stopping'.

Stop using Monitor Capture. It's terribad and slow on Win7. Turn Aero back on, and use a Window or Game Capture, with the auto scene switcher and fullscreen borderless mode. If you absolutely NEED to capture the whole monitor for some reason (and not just being lazy on doing a proper setup) then use a Game Capture on the DWM process instead. It's MUCH faster than Monitor Cap on Win7, and doesn't suck.

720p, 30fps, 2000kbps is the 'golden point' for non-partnered streamers. It's the best tradeoff between resolution, smoothness, and image fidelity. You can get away with a bit lower bitrate as it's League (less stuff changes on screen constantly, so less bitrate is needed for it to look decent), but you absolutely do not want to bump up your framerate past 30 unless you have a specific use-case scenario... for most, it's just outright numbers-wanking.
 
Ok,turned game capture on,turned aero back on, and now it works a lot better.I can stream 720P in 60 frames without any other problems in 2250 bittrate.Should i have a higher bittrate for 60 fps?
What i meant by stopping is that my stream stopped after like 10-15 minutes,like the same when you press stop streaming,that's what i meant by "my stream keeps stopping",and no,i don't have hotkey to stop my stream and i don't have any fps drops,especially now when i use GAME capture and not MONITOR capture.

My log when my stream ended after like 7-8 minutes:

Yes, you need a higher bitrate for 720p@60, around 2700-3000. Which is going to cause more and more people to buffer and not be able to watch your stream smoothly. A majority of viewers are able to handle 2000kbps, which is why it's advised to stick at 720p@30 unless you're partnered, and have the extra flexibility that quality options allow.

Very weird; according to the logs, it received an exit signal. I'd recommend *setting* a 'stop stream' hotkey, but set it to a very awkward combination you'll never hit, just in case OBS is hooking the stop-hotkey code for some reason. I've had a less severe, intermittent issue where OBS would change hotkeyed scenes at random, when windows would gain and lose focus (not OBS).
 
Actually my stream stopped because it was hotkeyed to a very stupid combination that somehow i hit it a couple of times without even knowing it,so yeah that's entirely my fault.
I stream 720p 45 fps in 2450 bittrate and if people say that they can't watch it because it buffers, i will make it 30 fps.
Now i have another problem.I'm using logitech c920 webcam and its incorporated microphone, but this microphone keeps echoing.Do you have any ideas how can i solve this?
Thank you for helping me again!

Disable the microphone device in the webcam's Source. It's already set as your Microphone channel, so it's being picked up twice. The video capture device 'audio device' box is for stuff like capture cards, where you need to grab the audio too and it isn't already coming in on another input.

Also really recommended to get a standard headset, it's going to give you MUCH better sound quality, even for a cheapo. I used (and still on occasion use) a $12 Logitech h110 headset. Lightweight, comfortable for hours, decent enough mic quality, and super-cheap. This will also help cut down on ambient loop, where the mic picks up the sound from your speakers.
 
Ok i did that and solved my problem with the echo.I do have a 15 dollars microphone but believe me, its mike is worse than this cams microphone.I'm going to watch some reviews on logitech h110 and probably will buy it soon.
Thank you again for your help man!I'll follow you on twitch.
