Utorrent barfs my computer?

[karol2d]

Hi! I come from Poland and I want to say that Utorrent is great application ^^

But I have got a problem about it.

I bought new computer, and when I installed Utorrent my PC started to barf/hung. It hapens only when Utorent is running for longer than 15 minutes ^^' Then I must push the "Reset" button, because ctr+alt+delete doesn't work. After that I can see in log ivents error caused by NetBT. What should I do?

(And sorry about the language.)

My PC:

Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz

Gigabyte GeForce7300 Gt PX 256 MB DVI/TV BOX

Asus P5K SE DDR2

GoodRam DDR2 1GB PC800

HDD SAMSUNG SATA100 320 GB 16 MB CACHE

In µTorrent, go to Preferences > BitTorrent

Try unchecking "Enable DHT".

In Preferences > Advanced, try setting net.max_halfopen to 4.

No, it doesn't work :| PC still hungs :|

Any chance your computer is simply overheating (in whole are in part)?

If it's a software problem, you can try HijackThis! and do research on what it finds.

You may have more than 1 nasty on your computer, so don't expect things will get better just because you fixed one problem.

...some of the worst 'nasties' nowadays are commercial software.

Check the FAQ for incompatible software. Are you running any of those / types of software?

[karol2d]

Overheating - I'm sure, it is not. I've checked temperatures in Everest and in BIOS. And like I said - It happens only when utorrent is turned on ^^.

Spywere? Viruses? HijackThis? No - it was checked milions of times.

I haven't got any incompatible software on my PC. I installed utorrent on clean PC and it hung/barfed too.

[Switeck]

Loose connection somewhere (like a poorly seated card or ide cable) or dying hard drive or ram most likely then.

[karol2d]

I've got wireless internet connection. Can it be caused because of loss connection?

My card is: 802.11b WLAN PCI - is it good or not, cause I've got no idea.

[jewelisheaven]

Hmm, well OS version, uT version, and a HijackThis log would be helpful... we should be able to get it to stop 'barfing'

[karol2d]

Ok:

I've got Windows Xp Service Pack 2, Utorrent version: 1.7.5

And if you want it so much HijackThis log:

And...... Did I say something funny? ^^' The "barfing" word is it ok? Or should I use another one?

[jewelisheaven]

The only thing I don't recognize there is XPNetDiag... Strange since it's from Microsoft, no?

Also i at barf because you know in english it's usually used when someone gets sick and vomits up their recent lunch or dinner. Therefore it's a messy thing, and at the time I was picturing a cartoonish PC case with a mouth vomiting up all the cards inside... I dunno, it just made me smile, and isn't smiling a good thing.

[ajones81]

What're your download/upload speeds and uTorrent connection settings like? Have you patched Tcpip.sys?

[karol2d]

If you mean patch called EvID4226Patch.exe, then yes ^^. Upload download speed? I don't know ^^' Wireless internet connection is very unpredictable ^^" Some times I've got better speed, but some times it is bad So I don't know what should I use in my configuration setup ^^

[jewelisheaven]

At a maximum bittorent data transfer is recommended to reach only ~ 80% of your maximum rated line speed. (meaning what your ISP says, "you have 1.5 Mbit down). This is accomplished through Ctrl-G Speed Guide by default, but you should also take that into account when manually setting any speed settings.
