Skype BSOD/AMD Driver crashing.

Hi, I have an isse with skype causing problems. When I start skype, the AMD display driver crashes. The screen goes black for a few seconds. Now, after that there are no issues until someone tries to call me or I try to call someone else. Upon making a call, the PC gets a blue screen of death and restarts. Any ideas what it might be? Thanks in advance.

My AMD Driver crashes and recovers almost daily. Is there anyway to stop this?

My laptop is a HP Pavillion g7-2224nr notebook and my driver is the default one, a AMD Radeon HD 7420G Discrete-Class Graphics.
It doesn't bluescreen, but when I'm watching youtube videos, the video will randomly stop and it'll say 'the amd driver has disconnected and successfully reconnected'.
Do you guys have any suggestions to helping me?
Edit: Forgot to add, it's a windows 8.1.
This question was solved.

It worked great. I installed it and it hasn't crashed once. I was even able to play one of my favorite games.

BSOD video driver crashing in PPro ONLY

I'm getting a BSOD crash everytime I create a new seq or try to change seq settings. It has something to do with the seq setting dialog box. I can select any settings but as soon as I click OK, pow BSOD. minidumps point to the nvidia driver (nvlddmkm.sys). I'm using dell m6400, win 7 pro (fully updated), quadro 3700m (1 gig), 12gig mem, CS5.5 PPro 5.5.2 - Master collection (fully updated). I'm mostly the AE and 3dmax person in our shop and not a PPro regular but we use PPro as our main editor. I have a project I need to do some stuff on in PPro and can't setup a SEQ cause it keeps crashing. I'm not having any issues like this with any of the other adobe software or any other software I'm using and I haven't had this problem in the past with PPro so I assume that there is a problem between PPro 5.5.2 the newer video drivers I'm now using (nvidia 310.90).
Any Ideas, suggestions? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I thought about rolling the drivers back to CS5.5 era drivers (I guess around 285.xx ? ) but I really need the newer drivers for some features in the lastest 3Dmax/directX. Anyone else here had problems with PPro 5.5.2 and nvidia 310.xx?
Thanks

Have you gone to nVidia to see if there is a newer driver?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I've seen mention of a 314.?? driver

Skype causing display crash with newest AMD driver...

I have two graphics cards, an Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, and an XFX R9 280X. Skype gives me zero problems with the 750 Ti and latest Nvidia drivers, but with the 280X and latest Catalyst drivers from AMD, about 5 seconds after Skype starts up, my display freezes and just displays some crazy lines and colors. To test this, I closed Skype just before it completely started up, and, to my surprise, things ran smoothly, so this has to be a Skype issues with AMD drivers. Before I installed drivers for the 280X, there was no problem with Skype starting up. After, my PC becomes unusable with the drivers and Skype starting up. Any thoughts? I cannot just simply neglect to use Skype. A conflict between Skype and AMD drivers seems to be the only possible explanation if this problem does not occur without the drivers, nor with Nvidia drivers.

Skype BSODs very often

Hello, Running the latest version of Skype on Windows 7 64-bit, all important Windows Updates installed. I have two problems regarding Skype giving me a BSOD. First, whenever someone calls me or I call someone, the computer freezes for a second and gives me a BSOD (I don't have the details right now). I think it happened to me like four times already. I said to myself I'd ignore that since I'm going to upgrade to W10 in a few days anyway. Then, when I tried to change my profile picture, a bizarre buzzing noise interupt all sounds that were incoming and following that, I got another BSOD, the noise lasting until the computer reset. I know I have various problems regarding my graphics card, but I'm not blaming it yet until I know whether the issue is Skype or not. I will post details if you need to. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help in advance.

Since you have Windows 7 the diagnostic doesn't contain a record of the BSOD. Since you have an R7 it's more than likely your video drivers that are crashing. You can always check your Event Viewer to see if it has any reference to atixxx. The solutions are either to find a driver version or configuration that doesn't crash with Skype or downgrade to a version of Skype that doesn't crash with your current driver. Some people have claimed to resolve their problems by flushing out Skype completely and re-installing it. Though I'm unsure of the exact correlation. To see if it's due to ATI's H264 encoder: Locate AMDh264Enc32.dll and rename or delete that file. To attempt to find compatible/working ATI drivers (I believe Catalyst 13 and above include that H.264 encoder): You should completely uninstall the current drivers following AMDs guidance:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx
Afterward a 3rd party cleaner like DDU should allow you to remove the remaining traces:
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,14.html
You can then try to install older drivers (Catalyst 13.12 and higher) until you find a set/configuration that doesn't create the issue.
http://www.guru3d.com/files-categories/videocards-ati-catalyst-vista-win-7.html To downgrade to a version that might not trigger the problem, try Skype 6.14.

Can anyone help me to transfer everything I have on my Ipad on to a new computer. my hard drive crashed and a new one was installed and I do not want to loose all my apps or music. Please help

Hi everyone,
I am looking for help and maybe someone can help me please. My hard drive crashed and dell installed a new one. I have two iphones and an ipad with all my apps, music, amd photos. Can anyone indicate me what to do so I do not lose everything when I plug in my phone. Thanks

Naturally you should have a recent backup of your "crashed" hard drive. If you don't, well, hopefully you've learned a lesson but that doesn't solve your current problem.
If all your apps and media were purchased from the iTunes App Store, don't worry about them. Redownload all your apps and media, then allow iTunes to sync with and wipe your iOS devices - which will also put all the apps and media on them. You'll lose your settings, and any data which resided only on the iOS devices, and of course you'll need to organize your iOS folders and home screens and whatnot. But you won't really lose much, and without a backup this is your best choice.
If you have media from sources other than the iTunes App Store, look at Senuti or similar applications designed to copy media from iOS devices to computers. Use that first, then sync as I described in my second paragraph above. (I mention Senuti because it's popular. There are other options which work just as well, and some are even free.)

Spotify only displays black screen after video driver crashes

Using Windows 8.1 64x, AMD 7800 series card with the latest AMD 15.4 beta drivers. This driver release is prone to crashing. Spotify, though, doesn't recover after the driver crashes and only displays a black screen. Restarting the program fixes the problem, but it shouldn't have to be restarted in the first place.

I am so sorry to hear this, was it after an ad, i should be able to help, could you also tell me which country you are based in!

Driver Crashing Issues (R9 280x 3G Gaming)

I am having a problem with my new R9 280x 3G Gaming. I know the drivers are buggy, but I'm not quite sure what the issue is. Sometimes the card is stable, I can run Furmark on it and game and everything seems fine. Then on reboot I will have issues with the driver crashing, sometimes right on boot when the desktop loads. I have tried the drivers supplied on the MSI site as well as the newest 3.11beta9.5 from AMD, both seem to act the same.
I'm not sure if its a bad card or just driver issues. Anyone experience anything similar?

The first driver I installed on it was the 13.11 Beta 9.5 driver from AMD. That had crashing issues, so I uninstalled and installed the driver from MSI. The issue continued. I have now ran driver sweeper and reinstalled the 13.11 Beta 9.5 and it has been stable for the last day or so.

H8-1040 Video Driver Crashing, System Restore then no longer boots properly

I previously had some issues with my graphics card driver crashing. After moving, I took the card out and cleaned out all the dust. The issue somehow got worse. (As you would imagine, the issue never presented itself in Safe Mode). Regardless, I decided to do a system restore. After completing the system recovery, the computer never went to the OS setup screen. In fact, it simply shows a blank screen now when it boots. There are no error beeps and the system diagnostic checks out. I'm not entirely sure what to do. I've tried booting in safe mode, but the computer says it can not complete the installation in safe mode.
So has my card died?
(The issue seems to be similar to what is experienced here: http://forums.evga.com/GTX-550-ti-issue-black-screen-after-loading-windows-m1303862.aspx)
If this card had to be replaced, anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Manufacturers will tweak their cards differently. This EVGA 660 is rated for a 450 watt power supply. The 460 watt PSU in your PC has sufficient amperage on the two 12v rails.

I need to install photoshop cs4 extended from a disk to a new computer because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

Hard drive crashed - how to import my data back to itunes?

my hard drive crashed.
I reload windows, install itunes,
but when i connect iphone it wants to delete everything off it.
oddly enough it imported the photos. why cant it jsut import everything?
the reason why i dont want to wipe it and start over is because I have dozens of addresses stored in Tomtom.
if i tell to setup new device it will delete all apps including the saved data in those apps
so i'm wondering how can I get round this problem?
i have all my apps saved on a second drive.
why cant itunes just recognize this is your phone and let all app data remain on it and resync? why does it have to delete everything even after i verify my account?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Hard drive crashed. How do I get OSX on my new drive?

I think my hard drive crashed, oh my. First, let me say that all my data is backed-up on a cloud drive or on my network drive. So, I am good there. The computer is now completely inoperable, can't start up, not even in safe mode. Just goes to Apple grey screen and then shuts down, that Issa far as I can get. Does not even play the start-up chime anymore.
Question I have is this: I did not make a bootable start-up drive (dumb), so when I get a new drive to replace this, how will I get the OS on it to start- up and get the new drive ready?

If you don't get a startup chime then you may have a worse problem. Just be prepared.
What year is your MBP? From 2011 onward you would use Internet Recovery. Earlier you would need to install the original software that came with the computer on software restore DVDs.
Internet Recovery
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
            if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
DVD Installation:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
