I've been experiencing this frustrating issue where my entire computer freezes during my Twitch streams. This has happened twice: the first time was in March while playing Clair Obscur, and the second time was just yesterday with Kingdom Come Deliverance II. I'm beginning to wonder if this might be related to my computer specs or something else entirely. Has anyone faced similar problems or have ideas on what could be causing this? I also record my streams for YouTube, so it's been quite annoying!

It sounds like you might be experiencing issues related to NVENC encoding. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, make sure your drivers are up to date since they recently fixed some memory leak problems. That could be a potential cause for your freezes!
Good point! Definitely check your drivers.
Have you checked the reliability monitor available on Windows? It logs errors whenever your computer crashes, and it's really easy to use. Just search for "reliability monitor" in the start menu. You can find out if the system logged any errors around the time it froze. Sometimes, certain games can cause critical errors recorded by Windows, which might help you figure out what's going wrong!
I didn't see the 'Windows was not properly shut down' error, so that's good!
I have a 4060 ti card—but what are memory leaks? Are they serious?
