Graphical issues and a restart after launching Photo Booth

I have a problem with my Macbook Pro. After I launch PhotoBoth and camera is working about a minute suddenly screen goes black, fans speed up and I get a restart. If I don't turn on the camera computer works just fine. Maybe some short circuit inside? Please help.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Sounds like a GPU issue possible. What may be happening is that the GPU is getting o hot when kick on the camera and photo booth. Macbook Pros have this issue fairly often. If this is the case the fix is not a easy issue. It requires a reflow of the GPU .
