Do things heat up if only OBS is running but streamlink and VLC aren't? Are you using them to monitor what the output looks like for viewers?

I use 5 laptops from this era regularly to frequently:
i5 and i7 X220, i5 and i7 T420, and quad-core i7 W520.
All are 100% stable and run for days on end without a problem with Ubuntu, Pop OS, FreeBSD, and most other things.
I think you may have hardware problems.
