uTorrent 1.7.7 stable, vista, BSOD, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

[caldorean]

Hi there, first of all, I'm not quite sure yet that it is uTorrent that is

causing this BSOD, but, it seems to be somewhat related. I don't know

why, nor how this could have happened, until today I've had no

problems what so ever (except a bit of clogging of the regular

browsing speed but that's me that cba to speedtweak it ;>)

But now, starting utorrent and having two downloads going.

Program runs for a few minutes. then BOOM, BSOD, and the

message PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

I've tried reinstalling utorrent, removeing the settings, trying

a few different approaches, but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated so, if anyone got a slight

idea of what this might be, please share

regards

Cal

What internet security software do you have installed?

What driver file is mentioned in the error?

Actually, it seems like I went a bit fast forward in this, thinking it was

due to utorrent, but after trying another client I noted the same error,

this seems more like an error in windows than it does in the Utorrent file.

My apologizes, gonna see if I can find some info on the BSOD itself instead.

Edit:

Actually, it seemed more like there was a specific torrent fubaring the system, I've no

idea of what was actually going on but it seems like the system went stable after removeing the data and the torrent.

Can a torrent really do something like that?

Information for Windows 2000, but I doubt it's changed all that much for Vista. Faulty hardware sounds eaily possible to me.

Thank you for the link Ultima. Gonna run a few chkdsk's and if it keeps

comming I'll just return the laptop as a warranty question ;>

To test your RAM, you might want to check out MemTest86+ (running it for 12-24 hours is recommended for accuracy).
