Webcam kills raspberry pi sometimes

[p33k]

I have some problems with heimcontrol/raspberry and my webcam.

In heimcontrol I set my USB Logitech c250 webcam to work with streamer. First I set no intervall, and my raspberry crashed immediately. Then I tried with 50s, then 10s and 2s intervall. It works ok, viewable with all my devices, but sometimes I run in a new crash again. The webcam status LED is then on all the time. Then the heimcontrol site is gone, the raspberry is completely frozen and I only can cut the power and boot again. Sometimes before the crash I get errors like this (I can't see what happens when it crashes because it freezes the screen completely, no keyboard and mouse is working anymore):

Does anyone know the problem? Is it because of heimcontrol, or streamer, or my webcam?
