Webcam keeps shutting off on skype

About after 2 seconds my webcam shuts off and sometimes it doesn't turn on at all and I can only see my profile picture. It only does this on my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the special version. Also my automatic updates are off. I'm on a Windows 8 and this has never happened before. Can someone help me? I am very upset about it.
Solved!

I've never had such a problem on my laptop. I've tested the webcam (its a usb cam) on the test website on both my desktop and laptop and it works just fine, no flickering or anything.
I have the latest versions on both but the flickers only happens on the one. I guess maybe my particular skype installation could be faulty, I haven't exactly tried uninstalling and reinstalling yet. I've been mostly reinstalling and updating usb drivers and the webcam drivers over and over since it seemed possible due to the desktop being freshly built.
Edit: Okay I lied, I reinstalled skype and restarted the desktop and it started happening again, and it isn't working at all on the test website now. Maybe it is some driver thing on my end after all. The driver itself seems to flicker and have to "warm up" after restarting the desktop at any time haha.
Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

    That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
    See deadtimecapsule.org
    The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
    But it is well and truly time to replace.

  • Mac Pro keeps shutting off randomly

    Hey guys,
    My Macbook Pro keeps shutting off randomly. Its been doing it for a few months now and I was finally able to restore it to factory settings to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Sometimes it will shut off every five minutes, other times it will be maybe once an hour. I've noticed that it is more likely to shut off when I'm visiting youtube or watching a video/viewing a site with lots of pictures.
    By "shutting off" I mean that the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power button until it completely turns off and then restart it.
    When I turn my computer back on it sometimes has a reason for the problem, which I copied and pasted below:

    Kara436,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPUs. Given the symptoms which you’d described, yours might have that defect also. Apple had a gratis servicing program for three years from the MacBook Pro’s date of purchase; they still offer the servicing, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro, which will confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has the defect.

    My iMac (2007) keeps shutting off when in Full Screen mode (DVD, iTunes Visualizer, etc.) This only happens when I have an external monitor hooked up HDMI. Help?

    Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

  • My MBA keeps shutting off every 5 minutes. what is happening? I can't do any work done because of it. :(

    My MBA keeps shutting off every 5 minutes. what is happening? I can't do any work done because of it.

    Same problem for me, it happened after 3 weeks.
    I had to call Apple, althrough they couldn't solve the problem by phone.
    Genius bar were full so they sent me to a local store.
    Looks like it has something to do with the graphic card. It occured when I plugged my macbook to my iMac for screen the 1st time
    11 days later I'm still waiting to get my macbook back. Hope you can get it faster!
    Very disapointed with the support quality and product quality.

  • Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro keep shutting off while I'm using it with full battery?

    My Battery is 100% full and it keeps shutting off randomly, how can I fix this?

    This is something you should log. Whenever your machine shuts off randomly, make a note of the time and what you were doing on your machine at the time. You may find that the shut downs aren't random at all. I had a similar problem with "random" shutdowns, and discovered that there was a power supply issue.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why does my AirPort Extreme keep shutting off?

    My AirPort Extreme keeps shutting off randomly can any one help?
    -thanks

    More experience leads me to believe the problem is with the new iMac.  If I get the network going by turning AirPort Extreme power off, then on, I see a good signal at my iMac. Experience shows the network drops off after several hours. But yesterday I turned the iMac off, and the network remainded up (I could see it on my iPhone and iPad) throughout the night.  That's the first time that has happened since I got the new iMac.  Never had this issue with the old machine. I transferred all file to the new machine from a Time Machine backup that was up-to-date.  Am working with Apple support. They had me do a re-boot of the AirPort and will call back tomorrow AM to learn it did not solve the problem, but turning off the iMac does.  Darn.

  • Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.

    Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.    The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

    Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original.   Hasn't shut off again.... yet.   Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other.   Thanks.

  • Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
    That being said, try to reset the device:
    *Device reset*
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Why does my NEW ipod keep shutting off in less than 30 seconds of play time

    Rcv'd ipod at Christmas; was setup in spanish when I first turned on & thought that was weird; had issues trying to download version 10 of itunes but after two days it finally went through successfully; charged for two days; used for first time today and it keeps shutting off after 30-90 seconds of playtime; is this a common issue or do I need to send back?

    No, push the headphones firmly all the way in. The headphone jack on new nanos is very tight, make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the nano.
