Skype causing system BSOD and display failure etc

[stevesideas]

I've reported a number of problems with 3dsmax and the display driver, system crashes and BSOD. I thought it was the memory but I think, since closing Skype and not having one of these issues for 5 days, it has to be Skype. I've never had such a bad effect by just one application. Normally it's hardware that causes these kind of issues.

Anyone else had problems with Skype ?

I hope it's not just a coincidence !

are on windows 10? Anniversary Update caused many problems with a lot of stuff so maybe this. Whenever I had display driver crashes it has been memory on GPU dying.

Yes, I am on windows 10 but it was happening before I updated to the Anniversary edition. I'm going to put the system through its paces to see if it crashes etc under load. I really do think it is Skype that has been causing all these issues.
