Bug Report Video was Freezing. Now OBS Just keeps crashing

Ok here's the problem.

The past few days, I can't figure out why the video freezes, but the audio stays going. It would only happen, once in awhile. Today it just kept doing it.
I Installed version .611b just to see if rolling back helps. It doesn't.
Still freezes.
I rebooted my Laptop. Re-installed .613b, since rolling back accomplished nothing. Then i get the crash, and from then on it keeps crashing. I'm having trouble uploading the one dmp file. Took the next set of info that was listed, included that dmp file instead. That crash was made when I didn't having anything connected to stream, just to press "start streaming" to see if it would crash and it did. If you need me to connect everything up and have it crash just let me know, i could do that and send the info.

I'm trying to stream Xbox 360 console from my Elgato Game Capture to my laptop.
720p 30fps, superfast preset, 2800kbps combined audio and video on a 3.71Mb/s upload speed.

Well i reboot my Laptop again, seems to be working now. But any ideas about the video freezes? I haven't tried to stream again, i just tested it for a few seconds just now to see if it worked.

Cause after I made this thread, I went to play SimCity, and it wasn't loading properly. Then I tried a WIndows 8 App/Game and that didn't work either, it did, but was extremely laggy and had me worried i might have a more complicated problem at hand.

What video capture device were you using with it? It seems to be coming from there.

Sorry for such a late reply. Elgato Game Capture HD. I was just thinking it was the Elgato too. I keep getting the freezing issues. It can happen randomly. Sometimes a few seconds after going live. 5 minutes. 10. 20. anytime, but usually within 30 minutes. And it seems to keep happening now quite often. More so than before. Basically everytime now.

I got the device quite early after its original release. So I was thinking might be time to get a new one. I really don't want to do that though unless that's the only option.

The elgato itself is probably not at fault, though I'd like to see a regular OBS log. What console are you using the elgato to capture? There's currently some incompatibility with older consoles that run at lower resolutions.

I'm streaming Xbox360 (Slim Version) component plugs, not HDMI. Everything is up to date.
I had it freeze again on me last night. It's really frustrating.

I thought I found the problem, or at least narrowed it down.

I had been streaming with music playing via WinAmp v5.63 and it seemed that was causing the video freeze, as odd as it sounds. I streamed for a couple times with music off, didn't freeze. But then it froze again last night, music was off. So that had to have been coincidence?

I got the update released today. And then I saw this.
(Picture included)

Could that be the cause you think?

Also i have a question. At the end of the log files sometime it says memory leaks were detected.
What is that? Is it bad? Please explain.

EDIT- I tried to upload the image, 1.00mb png. it wouldnt work. Link to the picture via twitter.

It's possible, but definitely very weird. I'm not entirely sure unfortunately, not without being directly in front of the computer.
