X64 OBS WAS working fine and then just suddenly started to crash. I have tried reinstalling latest version over the original Latest version in case something was corrupted - but it appears nothing was corrupted. Now I am relegated to using the 32bit version as 64bit is useless. It crashes almost as soon as starting the stream connection. The 32 bit version seems to still run but would like to reengage the x64 version since the machine has the ram to support it.

I am seeing the same issue. I can run 32 bit fine but 64 bit dies early after starting a stream.
The weird thing is I WAS able to run the x64 bit version for a few weeks after initial install. Then one day just started to crash shortly after a broadcast stream is started. From the response given so far maybe this should be submitted as a bug report - might get more attention that way?

Try OBS Studio portable mode in different folder: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-and-obs-studio-portable-mode-on-windows.359/
Extremely Interesting this... Running the same instance of the x64 version of OBS with the "-portable" switch and it is WORKING. Anyone have insight as to what the "-portable" switch does to OBS x64 to make it go from crashing 10-30 seconds after starting a stream to having it stay up as well as it did before the entire crashing stint started??

Then you actually only need to create new Profile and new Scene Collection. There is few words how to manage it by the main menu, OBS Studio Help Guide: https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...ware-studio-multiplatform-help-guide-pdf.365/ (look for Using menu bar section).
If you correctly engaged Portable Mode, OBS Studio would start with a completely fresh (empty/default) set of Scene Collections, Scenes, Profiles, Settings, and Plugins. It does not read your existing settings from %AppData%.
If Portable Mode runs without crashes while your regular application does not, that indicate that the problem is within something your regular application uses (Plugins, Settings, Profiles, Scenes, or Scene Collections).

You are not portable. Portable should ask you to acept license agreement first. And until you copy profiles, by yourself, it couldn't see your the scenes and settings you had before.
You must use "--portable" commandline key (double minus).
Or put a blank text file in its folder named "portable_mode.txt".
Yes you are correct. I wasn't in portable mode before. However I did get it into "P-Mode" yesterday and copied profiles, settings etc... It worked OK for a few hours, and then finally crashed in the same manner as before. As to my profile being the cause of the crashes - I am using the exact same profile, settings, scenes, and scene assets when running the x86 version of OBS. If this is a profile, settings, scenes, or scene assets problem why would this not affect the x86 version?
Not that it helps, but I've read that there are some drivers that have compatibility issues with OBS Studio 64-bit that work fine with OBS Studio 32-bit. However, I'm not familiar with any examples or what the issues are. If I'm wrong about the driver compatibility, someone who knows better is free to correct me.
