I built a new PC two months ago with an i5 4690k and a 970, but a month after that, Skype started having major issues, it would randomly stop working during a call, I could only make a single call or receive one before I had to restart Skype. I looked to the forums for help and one guy identified my crash log and said my Nvidia drivers were the problem, I uninstalled Skype and used 3D guru to do a clean install of my drivers and rebooted. Now all skype does is message, when I try to even make a call it crashes or receive one. I now have no clue what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated as Skype is important for me.
 


Nvidia released a new driver about two months ago that finally fixed it.
