Why does my camera stop working randomly?

I am on skype on my macbook and randomly the video will shut off. If I go to my Photo booth it's not working either. If I restart my computer, everything is working fine. There is one place where my video usually always fails, and that's when I log onto my gmail when on skype. Any ideas why it's doing this?

    Try updating your Flash to the latest version. Also obtain all the updates for your Mac.

    Depending on the error message (if there is one), you may have to send the notebook in for repair.
