utorrent keeps crashing my computer

hi i need help .... up until now utorrent has been working fine ... but now it seems to just keep crashing after a random amount of time .. i tried bittorrent and bitcomet, and i still get the same thing ... i was downloading fine just a few weeks ago and now i dont know whats wrong ... it'll crash my whole computer and restart it, but will never fully restart windows .. it'll just go to a black screen and stay there ... my computer runs fine with utorrent on so im assuming that it is the problem .. im a complete noob at all this stuff so i really need help ... i dont know what you need so if you could let me know what to do and how to do it or how to give you info that'd be greatly appreciated .. thanks

Re: utorrent keeps crashing my computer

Post HijackThis & Process Explorer logs (run & paste here).
To do that:
http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=29748

With Process Explorer DONT forget to select utorrent.exe in the list and enable DLL mode (ctrl+d).

Re: utorrent keeps crashing my computer

I see that:

avgrsstx.dll    AVG Resident Shield Starter    AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o.    8.00.0000.0134

Did you try to disable AVG or uninstall it to see if uT works better ?

Re: utorrent keeps crashing my computer

Wireless dongles aren't the most stable. Be sure there aren't updated drivers.

Re: utorrent keeps crashing my computer

Try using a wired adapter and see if your crashes go away.

Re: utorrent keeps crashing my computer

Well, it appears that your wireless adapter is the cause for the system crash. You can try to find updated drivers for it. You may need to get a different adapter altogether, preferably something not USB.

Re: utorrent keeps crashing my computer

Because the drivers for USB wireless devices tend to be horribly broken and can't take much traffic before crashing.

CHeck the website of the manufacturer for your USB device.

Follow the setup guide. Once you've done that, the second link will help you alter the settings so as to not crash your USB device.
