I recently started using OBS to stream World of Warcraft on twitch.tv and everything is working great except for some reason at random times without any warning the stream will just shut off. It doesn't say anything crash's it doesn't give me any kind of warning all of a sudden it just stops and i have to restart the stream. I don't get any crash logs and I've played around with all the settings and tried everything i can think of and I've run out of ideas if anyone could help me out in any way that would be awesome. I'm pretty new to streaming so i might just be doing some noob mistake and yes i already checked to make sure there wasn't a hotkey for ending the stream lol.
Question / Help Stream randomly stops with OBS

Don't know if this will help but http://www.speedtest.net/result/2698229445.png is a speed test i just ran
Well i think i fix my crash problem by running a ping test for each twitch server, but now i need to change the quality of the stream to 720p which i did by changing the resolution to 1280 x 720 however this causes the stream to only capture part of the my screen and cut the other half off. Any suggestions on how to keep my stream quality at 720p but be able to up my resolution so that it captures my whole screen?
