Reprimax Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi all.I have a torrent that I stopped. I want to continue it but it locks up my computer every time when it goes through "Checking *.*%".It is a 23GB torrent. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.AMD Athlon64 X2 6400+2GB DDR 1066 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reprimax Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 It seems to be random. The last few times the checks got to 3%, 14% and 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 What sort of freeze? Everything stops responding? Blue screen? Does it work after a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reprimax Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 No pretty much I can move the mouse for awhile and then it stops completely. Meanwhile my hard drive light on my case stays solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 That's a sure sign of hard drive problems. Namely, failing sectors.Scan the drive with a tool like SpinRite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
