Skype 7.3 crashing around same time every night

Skype has been crashing every night, right before I go to bed Skype.exe ends up consuming almost 2GB of memory for some reason, at around the same time every night, and there are constant errors that Skype is out of memory, and it eventually stops responding completely until I end the process.
Running Windows 7 64bit with the latest updates installed, and Skype 7.3 latest build. Screenshot attached.

It really can't be any other software or hardware changes, as no changes have been made at all since the Skype update which caused this issue to start occuring.
As this particular system and user account are locked down and used almost exclusively just for Skype by an elderly retired person who runs no other applications, and has made no other changes to the system within that time that Skype has been updated and this issue has started occuring.
The Skype window remains open after they launch it in the morning, without minimizing it or using any other applications which could potentially interfere.
Considering the user is an elderly person with limited computer knowledge, when this issue occurs they are unable to recover the system themselves from its non responsive state, requiring intervention by us fix it on a nightly basis which is less than ideal for us, and them.

HT4528 Hello. I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to ios7. Since the upgrade, my phone turns itself off at the same time every night, for about 30 minutes. I have no idea why. Any suggestions?

I recently upgrade to iOS 7, and since then, my iPhone turns off automatically at the same time every night for about 30. Why does this happen, and what setting can I change to prevent it?

Is Do Not Disturb turned on? Do you see a quarter-moon icon up top in the status bar?

Mouse/keyboard freezing machine around same time every day

Using a silver tower G5 here and around the same time every day for the past week I've had to power down the machine. The mouse and keyboard just freeze. About a week ago we did put this on a KVM to switch between this and a G4 connected to a SCSI scanner. The KVM has only PS/2 ports so we're using the Belkin Y PS/2 to USB adapters. The problem seemed to have started a day or so after starting to use the KVM but I'm not sure if this is related to the freezing problem. Here's what's in the Console around the time of the freeze:

Rob Kudyba-
Too many adapters. For troubleshooting purposes can you go with a mouse and keyboard connected as directly as possible?
Do you know what Adobe LM is? That seems to be buggering things up a little.
If you still have the errors after trying it with as few adapters as possible, try repairing your startup disk.

Pixelation on only 6 premium channels around same time every day

I've had a couple of different problems. The newest problem is pixelation on 4 Starz Channels and 2 Encore channels. Happens every day around the same time and the whole weekend. So basically when I want to watch TV. Called twice in the beginning 6 months ago and after service over phone had me check things etc. told me they had complaints in area and they were aware of it and were fixing it. I'm pretty busy and very patient, so finally a few days ago, I had it. Called again. They had me do the same checks etc. Scheduled Tech to come out the next day (Sat) and because of an additional problem with a mitel voip phone not working with westel box the Tech was suppose to bring the latest edition of the Action Tech box (which they were suppose to give me at installation 2 yr ago but the Tech didn't have one on the truck) and I was hoping he would be able to fix both problems. However, Tech came out and had given the last action tech box to previous customer right before me (again) so I'm still daisy-chained with Dlink and westel box just to get me working. But interest thing is I have 5 TV's in my house all hooked up and they all have this problem. Tech told me that the installer who worked my house used 3 or 4 splitters and at the most they should use two. I've had Verizon when it was DSL so for a long time. Guess they didn't change out my box on outside of house either when they installed me. So now I have a complete re-install suppose to happen just to get me corrected. So for two years I've had no guide, no VOD or any of the other features offered. The pixelation thing is fairly recent, like 6 months ago. I just hope someone will just get me fixed. I am tired of just putting up with this. I've printed off the different helpful things ya'll put on here and have folder so I can at least show the guy when he comes out. I have two of the 5 TV's that are HD so want to upgrade the boxes on them and wondering if they shouldn't just upgrade the others too while they are out here. Any suggestions or thoughts on if this will actually correct my problem or how I can just get everything upgraded to the newest since I've put up with this for so long?

Hello Cgsheridan,
Sounds like there are 2 different issues here. One is order related the other is technical. To upgrade the set top boxes an order will need to be placed which we can assist in getting you connected with an order specialist if you would like. As for the router replacement and cabling issues that will need to be done on a repair ticket. I will send you a private message to get more information to start the process.
Thank you

FiOS Digital Voice and Internet Reoccurring Problem with Outage at Same Time Every Night

I was hoping someone could help me out or enlighten me as to what may be going on.
I've been having problems the past two nights (5/17 and 5/18) where at 12:45am CST, both the internet and Digital Voice service go out. The problem with this is that the outage trips our home alarm due to the dropped connection (which scares our child) and disrupts any large downloads (e.g. Steam purchases) that I may have set up to run during the night. After 5-10 minutes, service is restored and works properly.
We haven't had problems of this nature since we switched to digital voice around two months ago, and we tested our alarm system with the provider to ensure it works properly with Digital Voice (it does).
Does anyone know if Verizon has been doing backend updates or something of that nature that would knock service out two nights in a row at the same time?
I haven't received any information indicating there are outages, planned or otherwise, in our area, and the Verizon support staff I contacted, while polite and courteous, did not have an answer for me. I am hoping that we don't have to endure a third night of this.
Thanks

To follow up on this, we again had another occurance at 12:45am CST Saturday morning. Thankfully, though, we did not have another occurance Sunday morning.
However, I still would like to know what the root cause of this problem is. I've powercycled my ONT (removed power, removed battery backup) per Verizon support's instructions Friday afternoon, but it did not appear to have any impact on the problem at hand.

Internet switching off at same time every night

I am a BT unlimited broadband customer (not Infinity) and for the last 6 to 7 weeks my internet connection has been switching off every night at around 8/9pm. The broadband technical helpline have managed to get me back online when I ring by different fixes each time, including reset etc. On the occasions when I don't ring them and just leave it the internet is back on again when I wake up in the morning.
I have been sent a Home Hub 3 as a replacement for my old Home Hub 1.0/1.5., placed it much nearer the telephone point and replaced all the filters. I have disconnected my wired desktop PC and have temporary loan of a laptop which I use wirelessly. But the problem persists. The broadband light remains solid blue the whole time this is happening and, weirdly, the laptop status bar says I have internet access, although I clearly haven't. Line test shows no problems.
This problem happens even when I have no computer turned on at all. I know this because my BT Vision on demand also becomes unavailable. The troubleshooter function on the BT Vision box shows I have broadband connection during this period.
It has been suggested there may be some interference somewhere. But nothing has changed in my house and I think it would be difficult to find out if it's anything nearby. Could it be something at the exchange (although I fancy there would be many more compaints if this was so)? As you can imagine, this is driving me nuts. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

is the power save function turned off?
How to turn off power save permanently
From a computer that is connected to the Hub, open your web browser and browse to http://bthomehub.hometo open the Hub Manager
Click the Configure button next to "BT Power Save" (Hub 2.0) or "BT Manual Power Save" (Hub 3)
You will be asked to enter your Admin password
Click No on the "Enable Power Save Mode" (Hub 2.0) or "BT Power Save mode enable" (Hub 3) option

Hi
I doubt there is something wrong with your notebook.
Is the notebook connected to LAN?
If yes then the enabled Wake up on LAN option could be the reason why the notebook powers on itself
So access the BIOS and disable this option;
Furthermore I recommend disabling this in device manger -> LAN properties -> Advanced tab.
Last but not least you should check if some Scheduled Tasks are not set which could power up the notebook as well
Greetings

Macbook slows down at the same time every day.

I know this makes me sound crazy, but my Macbook (running Mac OS X) starts to get inexplicably sluggish at the same time every day – roughly between 4:30 and 5 p.m. Applications start temporarily freezing up and I get that beachball-looking thing, and I have to force quit applications because they won't quit normally. I have McAffee virus protection through my school and a full scan reveals nothing. I also have the latest security updates.
The applications I run on a given day are pretty typical: Chrome, Acrobat, Dropbox, Twitter desktop and Word. I never download any unauthorized software or shady files. No idea what it could be, but it is not just in my head. Any educated guesses?

Is the McAffee anti virus set to scan automaticaly around 4:30 -5:00?
.....you might want to open Activity Monitor and check what apps are running and check their CPU usage.......sounds like something is running in the background.....

SMS 2008 Server time out same time every hour

Our server times out at the same time every hour. Any computer connected to our network at exactly xx:53, any program or anything you are attempted to do goes to the loading circle and says not responding. It stays that way until xx:54. Every hour, every
day. However, nothing shows up on the error reports.

Hi MNQWolfe,
Based on your description, I suggest that you should firstly check if there any program or feature (such as antivirus program, update, backup and so on) started
working at that time. Also, please monitor the Task Manager or Resource Monitor to check if any process was started at that time.
In addition, it seems to be a network issue. Please run a sniffer on the server. You can use Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 to monitor and then check ARP messages
and so on.

Its due to one of two reasons, you have mains supply spikes/blackouts or the power supply is faulty in the router. Because it's occurring at a regular timed intervals, I'd say it's more likely to be the former. You need to check whether something in the premises is switching on at that time, examples would be electrical water heaters on timers, etc... And also confirm that the router mains cable is plugged firmly into the socket, as if it's loose it would make it more subseptable to such spikes/blackouts.

Losing Wifi same time every day.

Hi, I lose my wifi at the same time every day. Vodafone tell me there is nothing wrong and nobody else is using my wifi. They have told me to use a cable which for me defeats the object of wifi, even though it does actually work when I connect with a cable. I also have to run a cable from my router to my apple tv, so I'm kind of getting a bit frustrated with cables running all over my living room. Anyone got any ideas as to what might be wrong? Thanks, Andy.

Have a look here.. http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/52465/?s_cid=con_FURL_help/hub5update
I assume this is supposed to fix the fault. Or perhaps another problem we arent aware of.
At the moment my hub has continued to behave itself and has stayed connected for over 4 days 8 hours.

Hi I have this problem that my iPad 4 stops connecting to the wifi at around 9:30 every night

Hi I have this problem that my iPad 4 stops connecting to the wifi at around 9:30 every night but my iPhone 5 and Mac mini still connects to the same wifi network I have called apple support and they had no clue what the problem is, have tried changing the http settings to auto and resetting the network setting on the iPad but no luck so far would appreciate any help thanks josh

One possibility is that there is an allowed time period for access programmed into your WiFi router for the MAC address of your iPad.
What make, model, and version WiFi router do you have?
Another possibility is that you are getting some WiFi interference from a nearby WiFi network which is automatically turning on at 9:30 PM. A nearby home security system could be the culprit.

Disconnecting roughly at the same time every day.

Hi
I hope I have posted this in the right forum.
I have a homehub 5 and I am currently on BT Infinity 2.
Every day between 17:00-17:20 my router disconnects and reboots itself. I've noticed in the Boot section of the Hub's Event Log the words "Watchdog Reset". Is there a problem with my router?
The disconnects happen whether I'm using the internet or not.
Below is an small portion of the HH5 boot log.

I dont have an answer for you unfortunately. But I am experiencing the same kind of problem. Maybe sharing this may help.
Last week I noticed that my router was disconnecting every night at around 9:00pm.
Since last weekend it has changed its routine and now disconnects at around 11:00pm. I have also had the watchdog reset message in the log but only once.
see my post https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity-Speed-Connection/Night-time-disconnections-and-watchdog-rese...
Around the time of the disconnection, my hub also seems to go back by an hour, and then resets the time to the correct time after NTP sync. see below. Does yours do this?

Also, do you see any of the CWMP messages like the one in my log, happening at around the same time?
I suspect that these CWMP are somehow triggering the disconnections, and it has something to do with the last firmware update that happened mid-January.
Someone suggested that I should perform a factory reset of the hub.
I'm a little reluctant to do so as this turns the openwifi service back on as default, and in the past I have had problems restoring my backed up settings. as the saved config file was corrupted.
I am considering giving the factory reset a go when I have some time at the weekend.
You may want to give it a go also.
Yes, it seems I have the CWMP messages as well.
I have just done a factory reset on my home hub 5 and will keep an eye on it over the next few days.
Thanks for your reply.

HT202663 AirTunes cuts out at the same time every hour for about 20 seconds

Since converting my iMac from Lion to Mavericks a week ago, my Airtunes network dies at exactly the same time ... 51 mintes and 35 seconds every hour after the hour. It stays down for 20 seconds then picks up again without any intervention required. (iTunes itself does not stall).
My wifi network set up worked reliably for about three years before upgrading to Mavericks, streaming music from iTunes on my iMac to two AP Expresses and one AppleTV. I have an Actiontec router provided by Verizon/FiOS. The iMac is connected to the router via Ethernet.
The apparently precisely timed interruption problem manifested itself immediately after installing Mavericks.
Anybody else have anything like this?

I fixed the problem. For anyone interested I disabled the IGMP service in the Actiontec router.
