Skype Crashes Computer

My computer does not like skype. Whenever I answer a call sometimes the display drivers will crash (AMD). That isn't the main problem. Sometimes when I get a call when I go to click the answer button my computer will freeze and the audio will start glitching out making sort of static sounds. I will have to do a hard shutdown and then it starts back up perfectly fine and then skype will open up, the person will call me and it will work perfectly fine. The freezing and glitching has happened 3 times now so I'm getting a bit worried. Any help?

CPU: some amd thing Motherboard: its black RAM: its memory thats for sure GPU: r7 260x Case: corsair spec 01 Storage: 1tb of it PSU: 430w, so many watts

Display: its asus Cooling: fans Keyboard: logitech g710+ #browns4lyfe Mouse: its a logitech Sound: its what you hear Operating System: winders
