Sorry, I'm unable to upload the OBS Studio Log URL over the help menu, because OBS crashed, I opened it a few times after it and thus, can't upload it with the "previous log file" option.
Long story short.
Even after trying out different EXPO's in the BIOS, many memory tests with OCCT for up to 1 hour I had this issue happen many times since *early February. Memory errors went away with some BIOS updates in mid February and trying different BIOS settings, but still the same crash, same "nvwgf2umx.dll"
Having done an OCCT test for 30 minutes today without any errors, I had to try DDU in Safe Mode with Network, then installing the NVIDIA App and latest driver once again. Result was the same.
Rolled back to NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers 566.36, December 5th, 2024, with a Clean Install, but after an hour, it happened again.
I streamed for 12 hours in December soon after building this PC without any OBS crashes, issues on the Windows end, nothing.
The last 3 things that it could be:
- RAM is bricked after just a few months
- My Windows 11 installation with MicroWin
- A strange bug with OBS that no one encountered yet before me
If any OBS dev can be very certain that it is not OBS, I can start looking into the other 2 options.
Thank you for reading this and I'm looking forward to any response whatsoever.
Best regards,
Daniel
