PR Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi there,I'm having a problem and can't find the way to solve it.My PC reboots when uTorrent is on for a while. First I thought it was due to the cooling system, but that was not it. Then I realized it only happened when my connection to Internet was on, and SPECIFICALLY when uTorrent was downloading/seeding.I'm from Argentina, my ISP is FibertelMy PC is connected via router: "3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX)"Two PCs are connected trough this router, this one and another one.My firewall is ZoneAlarm Pro, and uTorrent has access to internet.uTorrent seems at first working properly, but then suddenly the PC reboots (or the Blue Screen appears signaling an software/hardware problem, when I configured it to not reboot automatically)My Operating System is Windows XP Home Edition SP2Can anyone help me?Thanks a lot,Pablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Does the problem persist with ZA uninstalled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Haven't tried that, sounds too risky for me to disable Firewall.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 A router has a firewall built in, making anti-virus software more important. Try uninstalling ZA, it's terrible. If you must, use Comodo Firewall, and the instructions on this forum to configure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I just want to add that I have formatted the CPU a few days ago. Before that, I had Azureus installed and it worked fine, even after I installed ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 If you search for ZA, you can see it has caused many headaches. You should uninstall it, at least temporarily as a test. If it doesn't fix anything, the next steps can be tried.Plus, Comodo Firewall is more powerful, and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've installed Comodo Firewall, and all seems working well for now, I'll let you know if something happens.Thanks for the info!Keep it up,Pablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 ZA crashes with all P2P apps in general, though it varies from user to user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
