OBS Studio v 29.0.2, Windows 10.

I set up my webcam as a "video capture device" in OBS Studio. The program displays the webcam output in a window. So far so good.

After several hours my computer locks up as tight as a drum; mouse and keyboard become unresponsive, must power the computer down and up again.

Is anyone else having this problem or am I the only one? Try running OBS Studio with a webcam for an extended period of time and it may eventually crash your machine.

My computer runs for weeks at a time without issue. It's only when running OBS Studio that it crashes. I have tried using a little HP webcam and a Logitech Brio and the machine crashes either way.

I have a hunch there may be a memory leak somewhere or that the program is corrupting the stack, but that's just a hunch.
