So I was doing a stream of X4’s upcoming expansion, Split Vendetta, and at one moment, all three of my monitors went black. When they came back into existence, OBS was still streaming, but apparently something about a codec crashing caused it to stop recording. I checked X1 Precision and found no errors or problems (though the memory was a bit hot) and there were no error messages or anything anywhere else I could find.
 
Might anyone know what could cause such an occurrence? Thanks in advance.

Okay, I found the event log -- which is fascinating -- and at the time of the error, this happened:
 
"The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\000000f0
CMDre 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table"
 
Anyone have any idea what that means?
 
Also no hardware events, thankfully.

Got it, thank you. I hope it's not serious.
