This is not exclusively an OBS Studio since I was able to recreate the problem in Streamlabs. At random points, the entire system will just randomly freeze. I have tried the following:

1. Clean the inside of my PC.
2. Stress test my CPU for temperature issues (it survived the stress test).
3. Clear all temporary memory cached in my computer.
4. All my drivers are updated.

Any and all suggestions are super appreciated b/c I can't take any more of this.

Post a crash log and this too

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

So unfortunately, I do not recall the exact last moment this type of crash happened on OBS Studio, but I have attached the oldest one (the one most likely to have been logged during a system freeze 8-13). However, I do have a guaranteed log that crashed when I used Streamlabs 8-27. If neither of these are helpful, I can update this forum with an OBS Studio log file down the line that I know froze my system.

The issue was not version dependent for me w/ OBS. It happened even on the public stable release and several other ones. I tried turning off game mode on PC as recommended by uploading my previous log. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I can upload logs from a while ago, but I will use the tool should the problem persist. Thank you! I'll write back should I have new information and the problem is not resolved.

It is needed a current log file
Windows Game Mode is recommended to be active as it helps. In the past, when win10 wasn't ready for production, it was buggy and caused problems, but this was fixed a long time ago.
Windows 11 has it's own issues. For some people works well, for others not so.
Run OBS as admin.
You can try to do a clean install of video drivers:

Sometimes, I do face the same issues. I have tried solutions from google search but they didn't work for me. So, I joined this forum in search of a solution to my query. I hope this forum will help.

So it turns out that this was the last log I had https://obsproject.com/logs/Jc6xvmajatTlmIbQ . I forgot to restart my computer to turn the GPU hardware accelerating stuff off. To turn it off, go into the search bar on Windows, enter "game mode settings", go into "Graphics" -> "Change default graphics settings" -> "Off" -> RESTART YOUR PC. Hopefully this works?????
