Sadly, still doing the same even using the hotkeys while playing the game AND switching it to game window (you were right about me having it record under window mode~)

edit: Still Says taking too long to encode at the bottom right too lol

Hmmm. set it for a 480p resolution and test to see if it likes that.

Also in Settings under the Advanced tab, set Process Priority to High (this will tell your PC that the process is important), Scene Buffering time to 1000 (this gives your CPU more time to encode, but please be careful when you stop recording as it cuts the last 2-5 seconds you "observe" out of the file), and this last one is the most important x264 CPU preset to Superfast. While you're at it, also check the "Use CFR" box (this takes a load off your CPU by cutting a few corners, basicly it eliminates micro-managing of each frame).


*EDIT*

I have a few family members who stream on laptops no more powerful than what you have and they all were amazed at the improvements they got to encoding power after they turned off power saving (at least while plugged into the wall).

So, I figured I'd tell you how to do it just in case you want to give it a try.
(guessing Windows 8 from your screenshot)

Pull up your search tool from by touching the upper right-hand or lower right-hand corner of your screen and clicking the magnifying glass. Type "Power Options" and select the battery icon that shows up. Whatever power plan is currently selected, click the blue text to the right of it labled "Change plan settings." Underneath the Display and Sleep options is more blue text labled "Change advanced power settings" click that. At the bottom of the scroll list is "Processor power management" and you'll want to change the Minimum processor state to 100% (for laptops I believe they have an option here for "Only while plugged into the wall" or something along those lines.). Double-check to make sure the Maximum processor state is 100% and that should finish it off. Just be sure to click the "Apply" button on the way out.

I hope that improves your situation. =)
