Seems like a driver or application problem, the primary
suspects being video or sound drivers, or Skype. Since the
problem seems to have started with introduction of Skype,
the first step in troubleshooting is to seek fixes for Skype
or at least completely purge it from your system then check
whether the problem went away. If it is running in the
background continually, first try just closing it.
