Dear User,

You should be able to fix your computer using these steps,

1.       This can be a RAM issue. Try upgrading your ram .

2.       Or try installing a fresh copy of windows. And the drivers of your webcam.

3.       Use an antivirus application to prevent your pc getting infected

Computer Shuts Down When Using Video Chat

Good day Karrie,

I have read your problem and analyze it that leads to my conclusion that one of your ,

a.)P.S.U(power supply unit) – yes, it might be this why? if you have a generic power supply then simply doing a video chat surges up the wattage consumed therefore it will create an unstable current that will shut your computer off.

b.)R.A.M. (random access memory) – why? if you have a low memory in your computer, doing video chat seems impossible to do, because doing stuffs like these requires high memory installed.

c.)CORRUPTED FILES – maybe this? because sometimes a software installed with corrupted files will force the OS to reboot or shutdown, try reinstalling the video chat software.

Hopefully, I have helped you.

Take care!
