Skype video crashes my GPU driver and causes blue screen.

Hello,
Installed a new copy of windows and got the latest version of skype for my PC (on wich skype worked just fine, video calls, voice calls, but it was an older version. No hardware changes)
With the new skype, I , for the least, get driver crashes, and for the most, a blue screen, when I just go to options to set up my webcam.As soon as I see the square "loading" my webcam in the options, everything freezes and I get a driver crash or a blue screen.
Current specs:
i5 4440, stock clocks
2x8gb 1333 ddr3 1.5v ram, stock
R7 260x, stock
500w PSU, not the best quality, But I also tried a 1000w platinum PSU, and same resaults.
last error code I remeber from the blue screen was: 0x00000116
I know it is related to the GPU, but it doesn't have power deficiency, since I manage to run heavy games just fine.By the way, my webcam works just fine on different web sites, so it's not the webcam.
What I tried:
-Degrading to the oldest supported version by skype
-Degrading video drivers
-Using different webcams
-Installed all windows 7 64 bit updates
edit:
skype 6.14 works, but newer versions crash my GPU drivers and cause blue screen

I would suggest uninstalling Droidcam as it could be the source of some delays assisting in causing the problem.  TDR problems occur when your videocard is unable to respond in 2 seconds for a variety of reasons (heat, tweaks), forcefully resetting the card.  Some people increase this delay in their registry from 2 to up to 10 seconds to give the card time to catch up so that a reset doesn't occur.  You can try this MS fix it which increases this delay. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2665946

  • Iphone upgrade has crashed my Iphone and causes blue screen error on PC

    I just tried to upgrade my software and half way through my PC crashed. It said a blue screen error had occurred.
    Itunes now shows that my phone needs to be restored, but everytime I try to do my PC crashes again. This has now happened three times in 1 hour. I have Itunes v.8.0 on my pc but this hasnt been a problem till now. I am so angry that I have lost everything on my phone due to a problem like this. Can anyone advise how I can restore my phone without totally killing my laptop?

    With the blue screen it can be a few things that are interifering with it. First thing unplug anything from the usb ports on your computer and if you have like a logtech webcam make sure it is unplugged and also that if it is built in disable the driver. If you are on a pc you may want to go into device manager and update your usb drivers on your computer.

  • Why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

    My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.  My app store ID is fine.  What do I do?

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • SOLUTION: Flash Video Causing Blue Screen & Lockups

    Symptoms:  While playing a flash video, your screen locks up; goes black; you can hear audio in the background; and/or Blue Screen of Death.  The Blue Screen indicates a fault in nv4_disp.dll.
    =================  SOLUTION   =================
    Newer versions of Nvidia Drivers are causing the problem.    Disabling hardware acceleration in Flash only reduces the frequency of the lockups, but does not resolve the issue.
    Use this version of the Nvidia driver (but no later):   266.58
    Get it here:  http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
    This is confirmed to resolve the problem.
    Later Nvidia drivers added CUDA 4.0 (Unified Virtual Addressing (UVA) and GPUDirect™ v2.0) which is the root cause of the issue with "older" cards such as the 200 series and the 8 series.
    If you have a somewhat older graphics card, there really is little need to update past version 266.58.

  • When i take photos or videos on my ipod touch with the camera, then i plug it into the computer to sync, the computer shuts down and this blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of other stuff.

    When i take a photo or a video using the camera on my ipod touch, the computer (windows xp) shuts down and a blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of oth stuff in white. It doesn't wipe the memory or anything off the ipod. Whenever i sync my ipod without photos or videos it works fine. It also doesn't mind me taking photos off itunes to put on the ipod. I have had a look around and a couple of people say reinstall itunes, but i don't know if i will lose all my songs and apps. Any suggestions of help?

    Removing all Apple related software and reinstalling iTunes should bring all needed drivers back: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Also check for new driver updates for Windows, especially if you have a webcam installed.
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

  • Skype causes Blue Screen of Death after a while in...

    Hello, I'm currently having a problem with my skype where it will cause my computer to BSOD after a while in a call, it's only happening during skype calls, not during other voice communication programs like steam's voice calling and the blue screen is more likely to happen when I'm running Firefox.
    The Blue screen error I get is "Clock Interrupt was not receieved on a secondary processor within the alloted time interval."
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The issue might be triggered by Skype and other software but definitely not due to Skype.  It's a very broad multiple CPU timing's issue that can be caused by several things. 
    1.  Problematic BIOS settings
    2.  Failing hardware/drivers
    3.  CPU/Fan/HW monitor control programs
    4.  Power management settings
    As a temporary workaround you can try setting the processor affinity for Skype or set your Windows to boot off only 1 CPU using msconfig.

    Hi You may have a hardware fault take ipad to Apple Store. Ring then first to make an Appointment take box and you purchase paperwork they may give you A replacement. Before you do that Try a Reboot hold down power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you may need to hold down for up to 30 Seconds But you may need to do this more than once. If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian

  • Schannel errors - appears to be causing blue screens

    Hi guys
    Every once in a while (a few times a month) our RDS server (server 200r82 hyper-v VM) decides to blue screen and restart.
    Each and every time it crashes, we notice hundreds and hundreds of schannel errors appearing just before the crash (event ID 36888)
    Well, it did it again this afternoon, and over the last 12 hours we noticed 1008 instances of this error, with 60 odd messages appearing within 0.2 seconds of each other, and 2 minutes before the crash.
    I also noticed that just before the crash, there were a handful of services which hung seconds before the logged unexpected shutdown event. These services are as follows.
    - UmRDPService
    - WPDBusEnum
    - UxSMS
    - Audio Endpoint Builder
    After the crash, it doesnt log any Schannel errors. although, saying this now and just checking again, it looks like its logged 127 instances of the same schannel error, starting from after around 2 hours of bringing the server back online.
    Do these Schannel errors cause blue screens/crashes? Or is it something else I should be looking at... I'm at a loss, as there's not a lot more in the way of logs that seem to be telling me what's going on..

    Hi EsDood,
    Would you please let me know complete message of Event ID
    36888? For Event ID 36888, it generally occur if a user tries to access a web site using HTTP but specifies an SSL port in the URL. Please check the Schannel tracing log if find relevant clues.
    How to enable Schannel event logging in IIS
    Please also refer to following thread and check if can help you.
    Schannel
    error, Event ID 36888? - IS there a way to Identify what causes Schannel to log error?
    In addition, I noticed that a BSOD issue occurred on the Windows Server 2008 R2. Troubleshoot this kind of
    kernel crash issue, we need to analyze the crash dump file to narrow down the root cause of the issue. Did you get any dump files? If get, please refer to
    KB315263 and check if can help you.

  • BB Desktop Software causes Blue Screen at Windows XP

    Hi,
    I'm using BB Desktop Software 6.1.0.35 at Windows XP over Lenovo X201 laptop. When I try to sync the adressbook or calendar between my BB(Storm II 9520) and my laptop, it often causes blue screen at my laptop.

  • Skype video crashing Windows 8.1

    Every time I try to access video with Skype it crashes my Dell Venue 8 Pro running Windows 8.1. I have tried uninstalling and installing an older version of Skype. I have updated all my Dell and Intel Drivers. I have reinstalled the latest version of Skype. The system crashes whether I use the modern app or the desktop version.

    So, this issue has nothing to do with Skype , but is caused by defect webcam or device drivers.
    You can try to rollback the Intel imaging signal processor 2400 drivers.
