Video capture not working properly
I have a application in python which I use VideoCapture to display a webcam frame on the screen. It used to work perfectly until suddenly something wents reallly wrong. I'm using the same code and the image seems to be very noisy.
I tried to work with different cameras and the problem is the same, so the problem is not with the camera. I tried the same code in a different computer. And the application seems to work normally. I wrote a very simple code, just to display the webcam frame in the screen and still I have the same issue.
It seems to be a conflict between opencv and my computer configuration. But I'm not able to figure what is going on.
I hope you can help me with this issue.
My simple code is:

while True:
ret,frame = cap.read()
cv2.imshow('Original video',frame)
if cv2.waitKey(2) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
And the image I get is:
