Bug Report OBS causing freezing and BSOD with Elgato

I just upgraded my mobo to a m5a97 r 2.0 and upgraded my CPU to an FX 8350, with 8GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon 6750 HD (fairly old now, but that shouldn't be a problem for streaming should it?), running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

After installing my new gear I didn't install a new version of Window, and found my computer getting a BSOD every time I did anything computer intensive, streaming included, but not when I chose to preview stream, only when actually streaming to Twitch.

I decided to wipe my 500GB HDD and install Windows to it, with the same spec as before. After getting everything sorted I tried streaming again, and it lasted a bit longer then *POOF*, lines all over the screen then a BSOD.

I left the computer for a bit, tried restarting after a while and tried turning my fan speeds higher, making sure that I wasn't overclocked or anything.

I loaded up my GPU monitoring and my CPU and MOBO monitoring program's to check the temp didn't get too high. Now with the fans running longer it didn't crash instantly, but after 15 minutes of streaming it froze, no blue screen, just a freeze. It has done this every time since. Looking at my temperatures. The GPU was at 40c, mobo at 40ish, and CPU at 51c. Now these aren't very high at all are they? So I'm not convinced it's an overheating issue.

I'm completely stumped on this and would love any advice anyone has to give. Thanks.

Freezing and blue screens likely indicate system instability rather than a software problem. Check your memory with memtest86+ and check your CPU with OCCT / Prime 95.

Okay I have ran OCCT but I really don't know what to make of these images it's given me. Should I just post them all?

Erm I just ran Memtest, and after 30 mins (86 errors), my computer started smelling and my power supply just blew up.... Hooray

Yeah - now that your power is stable, run another memory test - it's possible you have bad RAM.
