uTorent causes my PC to freeze

[ExpertInTraining]

I have built me a pc, and everytime I try and run uTorrent it will run for a min then my pc will freeze and I have to hit the reset button on my case. This doesen't happen any other time. I also noticed that every time I start uTorrent I have to pick a different port because the port I used the time before doesen't work. Please help, thanks in advance.

My specs are:

ASUS P5Q Deluxe mobo

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 OC'd to 3.2GHz

ASUS Silent Knight II Heatsink/Fan

4 sticks Corsair XMS2 1Gig PC6400 RAM

EVGA GeForce 9800GTX+

Edimax PCI Wireless Internet Card

ASUS 22x Dual layer DVD burner

Multi card reader

ABS Tagan 700w Power Supply

NZXT Tempest Case

You forgot Process Explorer log when uT is running, very useful.

Guide: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=29748

Dont forget to select utorrent.exe and enable DLL mode (ctrl+d).

I think a module of Kaspersky or Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is the culprit.

[ExpertInTraining]

I don't think kaspersky is the problem. I run kaspersky on my other machine and utorrent runs fine. I read in another thread that the wireless adapter that I have has issues with more than 3gigs of RAM and to uninstall the software but keep the drivers. When I uninstalled it it uninstalled the card completely and I got blue screens about a registry error so I had to reformat. I'll try using utorrent again, but I need to know how to uninstall the third party wireless software but keep the drivers.

[moogly]

You can retrieve the drivers from the manufacturer website and save them locally.

[ExpertInTraining]

I got the drivers from the site, but automatically installs the software with it.

[moogly]

Try to use a software to uninstall properly modules and programs.

[ExpertInTraining]

I solved my problem. It appears that the wireless card I have (Edimax EW7128g) doesn't work well with more than 3gigs of RAM. I actually called Edimax, and after talking to a few people who can hardly speak english, I was told to goto edimax.us and get the new driver. I installed the new driver without the software and I still had the same problem until I took out a stick of RAM. Now I have to run on 3gigs until I find a fix for this.

[DreadWingKnight]

Yay, another RALink-based wireless card with buggy drivers.

BLEH.
