jewelisheaven Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 That's right :/ If it's a networking hardware problem or something related which may also cause overheating... if you're not running something which makes heavy usage of the networking hardware it's not much of a test Heating is definitely an option, but like I suggested could you try and see if there is actually some file references on the BSOD when the computer doesn't automatically restart?

Switeck Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 A poorly seated heatsink that's not making good thermal contact with the surface it's on can cause minor to extremely severe overheating problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoricsant Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well I spent a day without opening BitTorrent and it crashed anyways. So BitTorrent is not at fault. I'm getting various blue screens like:IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALPFN_LIST_CORRUPTSPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTIONI'm checking out some very helpful pcstats articles on BSOD - thanx for the suggestion I'm checking the memory modules with the Windows Memory Diagnostic program but so far it's not throwing errors. It could be the source of my problems since I upgraded the memory just days ago. I think it could also be a virus problem because the AVG monitoring function is not opening correctly (although the virus check does). Anyways I've always thought viruses r unlikely 2 cause hardware to malfunction (but that's just my opinion). I thank you all for answering to my message and throwing ideas in.I will reinstall XP also but I want to rule out any hardware issues first.By the way, no.. there are no specific file references on my BSOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sounds like screwed memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderwood Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I am receiving the same error message. This is after I am playing a game and close out of it. This has only happened since I upgraded to 1.8 beta, when I restart the pc it takes me back to 1.7.7. Don't understand why?Then its a bugger to get 1.8 back. Don't have any other problems.Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 My first suggestion is to find updates for ALL your drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderwood Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Done that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Can you write down the entire BSOD next time you see it?If you're overclocking, you may wanna try underclocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderwood Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Got me there, not sure what you mean.Don't know all the lingo.Trying to get 1.8 beta back again since the last crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 When you have a crash, write down every single word/letter on the BSOD. (bsod is blue screen of death ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorrax Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Wow, seems like many are having issues with utorrent = BSoD including myself. It only happens for me when I activate utorrent. As soon as I start a download, in crashes.I will try and post the error message here when I get home from work today. Thank you,Thorrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoricsant Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Well.. It's a month later, I have a running PC again. I can now tell you what was happening. YES it was a memory problem: one of the RAM sticks was a bit faulty, but it wasn't easy to identify as I had 4 of them -Supertalent 1GB 800. (I replaced those w 2x2GB)As for overclocking, it was not the case because I have an Intel board now and, as I understand, overclocking is more of a thing for ASUS and others. ALL the drivers for the board and BIOS were updated first but it wasn't the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Overclocking works just fine on modern Intel boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDude Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I just wanted to chime in and say that I'm having this exact same problem.PC crashes every few hours while using uTorrent (and only uTorrent it seems. I can download files and what not fine, play online games for hours, etc...)But I do agree that a regular application - even if it is 100% pure crap shouldn't be able to blue screen a PC in Windows. I'm curious - what sort of networking card/adapter everyone here is using?I have a LinkSys WUSB3000N. When I blue screen, the file name it displays is MRVW245.sys. That is, of course, a file included in the drivers for my LinkSys wireless usb adapter.Anyway, I have several mini-dumps as well as a few full kernel dumps; but I dunno if those will help at all.

jewelisheaven Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Update the drivers if possible. uT can't do a thing about broken implementations of wifi. You should send that stuff to Linksys support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Zonet ZEW 1601, it uses a RaLink 2561 chip and RaLinks wifi controlling program. I get the impression from others that they think of RaLink stuff as crap, or maybe that was on Vista, but anyway this card works great, when load testing I was able to push 3000+ connections before my router crashed, wireless card was fine, no BSOD's. To reiterate what has been mentioned before, USB adapters generally suck. Not using the included utility helped a relatives computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war59312 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yeah I am using same adapter and same crash here. Would be nice if Marvell could fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Check http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=329066#p329066 for RALink drivers... be sure you get the one for the right chipset. You have to find out which chipset your dongle uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
