I get this error all. the. time.
Even if i set the resolution downscale to 3.00 (532x284) , FPS under 30 , and my bufferrate and upload speed to 2000kb/s (it actually is 5000kb/s).
I don't have any programs running apart from Steam , Skype and Spotify.
What am i doing wrong?

Well, if you really have an old AMD dual core...then it's going to be completely normal to get that message. That CPU is very very underpowered for streaming, even on the lowest possible settings.
