COMplex Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I found uTorrent recently and absolutely love it. I've been using it for a couple days now. As of today, everytime I use uTorrent, my computer completely locks up. No blue screen, nothing. Just dead frozen. I've tried messing with settings, limiting connections and such, but I'm confused as to why my computer would crash for seemingly no reason.The computer will run for days at a time with no issues, but when I start uTorrent, after several minutes, poof.System Specs:Windows XP Professional SP2ABIT FATAL1TY AN8 MotherboardAMD Athlon 64 X2 +4800 Dual Core CPU4GB Corsair XMS Platinum PC3200 Memory4X Seagate 500GB SATA2 Hard Drives2X nVidia Geforce 7800 GTX OC in SLINetgear Wireless PCI CardUsing a Linksys WRT54G with hyperwrt firmware.Please help.

alcaholjunkie Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 well...1) I want your PC lol2) you could try deleting the current setttings (the folder is: %AppData%\uTorrent)3) Gather up pieces for a crap computer to run µtorrent on like I have (runs along side my main PC, lol)4) feck knows, i'm drunk ahoy there matey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Could be some troubles with an antivirus or a firewall software, try to disable those to check it.If neither antivirus nor firewall, it can be the wireless card driver (in this case lowering max. connections will probably do the trick). Anyway, utorrent just CAN'T lock the pc dead frozen by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Try disabling DHT.There's some advanced settings as well in µTorrent that might help, but I'm not familiar enough with them myself to tell you which ones that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Off-topic: Does AMD CPUs support 4 DIMMs now?As far as I know, they always have.(It's the motherboard that limits dimms, not really the cpu.)On the other hand...is there any AMD motherboards with 4 or more DIMM slots?...I don't know of any off the top of my head.

COMplex Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 lolOff-topic: Does AMD CPUs support 4 DIMMs now?On-topic: Do not use BitDefender or nVidia Forceware Firewall with µTorrent. I had some strange problems with Kaspersky AV as well, but I was able to fix those.The fatal1ty board supports 4 dimms. =)I do not have the nVidia firewall insalled. I do however, have kaspersky. What issues were you having with it?I tried disabling DHT, even tried limiting connections in uTorrent. Disabling DHT allows me to browse the web while uTorrent is running, which is another problem I was having. Sometimes, if I start uTorrent and it freezes, I come back to my computer to find 'the system has recovered from a serious error.' So if I wait long enough after it freezes, I guess it restarts it.This ONLY occurs when I use uTorrent. It's wierd I know... But before I had no trouble with bittornado whatsoever. I reallly like uTorrent, and really want to use it. But it's becoming impossible Thanks for all the input so far guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 BitTornado has no DHT.Have you tried uninstalling Kaspersky to see if it fixes it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMplex Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 BitTornado has no DHT.Have you tried uninstalling Kaspersky to see if it fixes it?I know I didn't say it did, that's why I disabled it in uTorrent. I disabled KAV and am testing right now... Hope thats the problem. I know KAV does some funky stuff with NTFS streams or something of that sort.

Firon Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Disabling doesn't work in almost every case, only an uninstall will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMplex Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Damnit.Just did it again. KAV disabled and all related processes stopped.Froze solid after a few minutes. I stopped all the torrents because i couldn't get into my router config. It froze and came out of it after about 2 minutes. Really wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Can you try -uninstalling- KAV? Not disabling it, uninstalling it. I just wanna know if that's the problem or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
