hey, just recently bought a predator helios 300, i tried to take a video recording using the webcam but every time i press record the camera will turn off automatically. taking a picture works fine. only taking video using the webcam is the problem. if i take a video, the camera just freezes and then turns off without any error showing.  could anyone please help.

    Try removing the driver via device manager, and then let windows auto search the best driver. Hopefully this should resolve your issue.

    This is happening to me too, got mine in yesterday. I tried uninstalling and restarting the computer and tried updating the driver from the device manager.
