Bug Report Video Capture Device Freezing HELP!

So I've been having an issue running OBS for the last few weeks. I heavily upgraded my computer and made sure that all drivers were downloaded for all necessary components. BUT my webcam is freezing every minute or so while streaming. If I click off the video capture device then click it back on, it works for another minute or two, then freezes again. What can I do to fix this? I am currently working with a Logitech C615.
 
Could you post a log file of where this happen? If the webcam is running at a high resolution, you might want to manually select a lower resolution in its properties.

It doesn't even seem to be turning on in that particular log file.
 
That's strange. I'll post last night's log then! I turned it off and on several times because it works for about 2 min then freezes. HOPEFULLY this helps:

Yea, that log says the same thing, the logs are sorted and named by date, just so you know, [yyyy]-[MM]-[dd]-[hhmm]-[ss]

This is definitely very unusual. I know the 615 should normally work because it's logitech, so I feel this is definitely very strange.
 
This is just a just in case thing. My webcam wouldn't work properly with game on whether it was Game Capture or a video capture device. I tried disabling the format YUY2 and it worked fine. Didn't even lower the quality that much.
