Skype crashes entire computer on call

Hi there.I am having a big problem with my skype, everytime I try to call someone or someone tries to call me the whole skype crashes and moments after that my whole computer crashes. This has been happening in more than I month and I hoped the latest skype update could fix this, but it didn't.I alredy tried to unnistall in multiple ways, including deleting everything about skype in my computer. I also tried to install previous versions of skype and the problem continued.I don't know if t will help but i put the dxdiag in the post anyway

  • Skype crashes entire computer

    Hello,
    I've been using Skype redularly for weeks and there have been no issues until today.
    Just as I was receiving a call for a job interview, Skype froze and any attempts to close the program failed. My computer started to sieze up and was unusable. At times I couldn't even use the cursor.
    This required a hard reboot but any other attempts to open Skype all ended the same. It froze the program and made my computer unusable to the point where I have to restart it by holding down the power button. I've made sure the drivers are up to date, I've reinstalled Skype to the latest version. It doesn't matter what I do now. It's the same result every. single. time.
    To say that I'm furious would be an understatement. I would appreciate any help on the matter please. It was working perfectly last week.
    I'm using Windows 7.

  • Skype crashing when starting a call

    This is my first post ever.  I've done everything I can to see and fix why my Skype client keep crashing when trying to start or accept a call.  I've update my drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled and such, but still nothing.  I want to fix this as soon as I can, since I use skype almost everyday.
    I've attched a DxDiag file so see if anyone one can help.
    Solved!

I have made the encrypted logfiles (3 created but not attached here - How do i send these files to skype staff??). 
    What i have tryed so far that did NOT work:
    Restart computer
    Restart skype (both cause of crash and manually)
    Delete the Skype folder in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\
    Reinstalled
    Uninstalled and installed again AFTER removing C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Skype
    Checked for drivers for audio,video and webcam - i have latest installed

  • Skype crashing on receiving/ starting call [W8.1]

    Hey there Skype community, I've been having an issue lately causing my skype to crash every time I receive a call or start a call, this issue is only occuring on my computer (laptop one is working all fine). I have tried most things and read through quite a few topics here looking for the issue but can't seem to find what's wrong, so I am seeking for help here.
    I've added a copy of my DxDiag txt in below as I saw it was being requested perviously on several other topics.
    If you need any further information please request and I'll be more than happy to provide it.
    Thank you for your time and I hope we can come to a solution.
    Some info:
    I am having this issue since the start of the year.
    It only appears to be happening on my desktop, not laptop or telephone.
    I never had issues related to this before, some minor things but never consistent crashes.
    Thanks in advance
    Yours sincerely, Brian.

    Your issue might be similar to this case:
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-clie​nt/New-skype-crashes/m-p/3581133#M294654
    Look for the AMDh264Enc32.dll file in this folder,
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI Technologies\Multimedia\
    and try to rename tis file to something different.
    Also you have a screen-capture-recorder application installed. I guess that this virtual video capture device is installed with ShareX application, and the installation went wrong. I would strongly recommend to uninstall this faulty application.

    I imagine 3d stereoscopic being enabled or playing Nvidia gamewoks-based games probably use that as a dependency.  You can always run msconfig from the run box and uncheck things that load at startup.  Since that file is not in use all the time something is loading it in memory then the crash occurs because it probably get unexpectedly unloaded.  Many times this can be due to your sleep settings in Window or your BIOS (or BIOS issues), and  other times mix/match driver issues.  You might consider doing a clean install of the Nvidia drivers (checking the box for clean install) and installing only the basic components (none of the add-ons like shadowplay) and see if that helps.I have already clean installed my nvidia drivers, I used DDU to wipe them. I also only ever install the driver itself, and uncheck all other options.I have my power options set to Never sleep, and 20minutes to turn off the display.I'm not exactly sure what startup options I should be looking for in msconfig, I think I've already unchecked everything I don't need.It's just strange how this only just recently started happening, I didn't have an issue before. I also don't recall updating anything recently unless it was done through Windows Updates.

  • Skype Crashes Video Card on Call

    Hi,
    Recently, whenever I make or receive a call on Skype, the monitors connected to my graphics card go black, but I can still hear audio coming from the computer, and the computer is unresponsive.
    I have a Radeon R7 260X, and I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling the drivers multiple times.
    I also have uninstalled & reinstalled Skype. 
    Also, I do not have a webcam plugged in.
    Here is my DxDiag file.

    I unplugged my two monitors and called via Skype again and it did work. I also tried installing a previous driver for my card which did work, but does not have certain features that I need. 
    Thanks

  • Game Downloaded from the AppStore Crashes Entire Computer

    Hey there, I have a Mid-2009 13' MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.3. Today I downloaded Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic from the App Store. It downloaded and installed without an issue. When I go to run the game, the game immediately freezes, giving me the pinwheel/beachball and the icon remains frozen in the tool bar. After a minute, the entire screen freezes with the only usable function being my mouse (I can't even adjust the brightness or open my force quit window for example). Anyways, every time I do this, I'm forced to force restart, and every force restart takes around 5-7 minutes, way longer than usual.
    I'm really lost, and i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction! Thanks.

    I am having a similar issue.  I have a mid 2010 MBP 15" with 10.8 and I get the occasional crash on the lowest video settings.  I think it may just be a bug in the game. Bugs me every time.

    2. Updated iTunes to the latest 7.0.x version at the time. Failed

    You may have a hardware problem or a seriously damaged hard disk directory. Try starting the computer from the installation DVD/CD. Run Disk Utilities and try to repair the hard drive. If it does repair anything, run Disk Utilities again and again until it gives the hard drive a clean bill of health. (It may be damaged more than Disk Utilities can handle.) If it repairs everything OK but you still have problems, run the Apple Hardware Test that should be on the installation disk. (Note: for that, you must use the original installation disk that came with the Mac, NOT an OS installation disk that you used to upgrade the OS.)
