Winxp BSOD when utorrent downloading.

[ilovemaja]

I didnt have this problem before, but i have this problem now for last month.

When i didnt have this problem, i had winxp sp1 without other patches. I could dl how much i wannted and no bsod ever.

Then i formated my pc and installed winxp sp2, and problems started. When i was dl from utorrent everything will be ok for a hour or two, maybe some more, but then i always got a bsod. I checked mini dump, and the cause was my realtek lan. The problem was only when utorrent was on and downloading, without utorrent i didnt get any bsod.

I then reformated again, and installed winxp pre sp2, and i have this problem like with sp2.

So i was thinkink maybe the driver of my lan was the problem, but i dont think so. I tryed diferent version, from cd to newest one on realtek page.

Then i think is probably a problem with winxp post sp1 + utorrent + realtek drivers.

I was thinkink to reformat again but to winpx sp1 only this time, like when it worked, but then i got one idea.

I tryed vmware with winxp sp3 beta and utorrent not only work great, but dl speeds are better than on my normal winxp. So for now it will stay like this if its stable.

This is just a story to help other who have or had problems with utorrent and bsod, try with vmware.

Get HijackThis! and do some research (hint: GOOGLE searches) on any strange DLLs or EXEs on your computer.

Even commercial stuff may have known compatibility issues...it just takes searches to find evidence of that.

It could just be outdated/buggy drivers.

Update the mobo drivers for LAN.

Hijackthis didnt find anything strange. I scanned my pc with these tools: Avg anti rootkit tool, Housecall online scan, Bit defender online scan. I have updated my lan drivers to latest one (i say that in first post too)

The next thing i will try is to install Windows xp, and then install only sp1 without others patches/fixes , but i will install that only after new year.

But for now i will just download/upload with vmware, because is very reliable, i didnt get any crash, and my download speeds are better than in normal windows xp.

I posted my log file of hijack this, and if something is wrong with that i will remove it.

If it's not the drivers, what is the blue screen message error and fingered driver file?

[ilovemaja]

The problem is it dont say any file, its without name of file responsible for bsod.

Thats why i then installed debuging tools for windows and opened mini dump, and there i got that the cause of bsod was : realtek lan driver named: Rtenicxp.sys

[Firon]

Realtek drivers has caused some BSODs for me too, but mine just says BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER.
