slapshotman Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 hi,i tried searching for this but didnt really find anything. i had a problem before with utorrent crashing, which has been fixed. i went through the whole set-up guide and everything works great as far as download speed and such. but after utorrent is running for a while (30 min or so) a blue screen comes up (NOT the blue screen of death thank god) and my computer reboots. this happens even if there are no downloads going on in utorrent. i dont have nvidia firewall anymore and am not sure what i should do.

jewelisheaven Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 A blue screen... what does it say? In system preferences (right click, my computer, properties) go to advanced and get to debug and .. shutdown options (different name).. there's an option to turn OFF automatic rebooting.The only screen i know of which FORCES a reboot is a BSOD.

Firon Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 If your computer reboots after a blue screen, then it is indeed a blue screen of death.Turn off automatic rebooting as jewel said, then write down the entire BSOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshotman Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The screen says:A problem has detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALthen it gives me steps to fix it, saying to make sure my new software or hardware is installed correctly. i dont have anything new.then it says dump of physical memorywould not having a driver do this? thats what it looks like from the error message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 There should be more to that message on the BSOD screen. There should be a filename and much more info on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshotman Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 there was this:NVTcp.sys - Address AE6BEAB6 base at AE6BC000other than that there are no other file namesthere is more info on the screen but i explained it was mostly giving suggestions like i should install new software or hardware properly.

jewelisheaven Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Nvidia firewall... Control Panel -> Add/Remove -> Nvidia forceware network adapter/acceleratorGet rid of it! Additionally provide the HiJackThis logfile mentioned in the sticky below or above... to see if anything else is there. http://utorrent.com/faq.php#Incompatible_software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Unfortunately, NVIDIA has neglected to fix their firewall over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
