And I just did a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows 7 YESTERDAYMy PC lags up when utorrent is open and randomly restarts... no blue screen, nothing... its like someone just hit the reset button... I had NO ISSUES with this what so ever on vista or xp...So far I chose to run it in xp mode which seems to have resolved the issue.. im 99.9 percent sure utorrent is the culprit...looks like im not the only one...http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/27173-win-7-crash-utorrent-i-think.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 If your motherboard is overclocked, it can throw the timings off for your LAN card. Either that, or the whole problem could be a heat-related issue of overclocking.Have you tried turning off automatic reboots on bluescreen and see what the error messages are?(GOOGLE for how)My guess is the drivers for your networking are buggy under Win 7.

peck1234 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I build computers... so dont be afraid to get technical here... : )1. I Installed windows 7 yesterday with a CLEAN INSTALL (the problems did not exist on vista)2. I currently have NO OVERCLOCKING done...3. My temps are all under 40C4. The fact that Utorrent Works In compatibility mode for xp should be enough to state that "somthing is wrong"5. I have all the latest drivers6. Auto Reboot is shut off...7. This same issue is taking place on a few other machines.. (dell laptops) both 32bit and 64bithttp://www.zshare.net/download/6669378147eca002/ <<<Complete System Info...P.S. Take a look at the Antec 1200... you gotta be crazy to think im over-heating... : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 "1. I Installed windows 7 yesterday with a CLEAN INSTALL"Does this mean no 3rd party software at all besides uTorrent?"2. I currently have NO OVERCLOCKING done..."That was not apparent from your post. Any time I see Mhz speeds included about motherboards, ram, cpu, and video card...I think it has been overclocked to that amount."3. My temps are all under 40C" ... "you gotta be crazy to think im over-heating"Until you told me this info, I'd be crazy NOT to think overheating."4. The fact that Utorrent Works In compatibility mode for xp"...Driver/Win 7 issues then? Either way, that's something OUTSIDE of uTorrent that's failing utterly."5.I have all the latest drivers"Latest isn't always greatest."6. Auto Reboot is shut off..."And it's still crashing and rebooting?!I'd blame Microsoft for that...or your hardware!"7. This same issue is taking place on a few other machines.. (dell laptops) both 32bit and 64bit"I am no fan of Dell...but without details that is hardly relevant.Don't immediately think just because we get a few posts vaguely similar to yours that there's a common thread. Potentially 100+ million people use uTorrent, so the few problem posts we get can be rare conditions or bad hardware/software on their end.

peck1234 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 well now... that's just all "bad news" aint it?: Panyway...my point is utorrent needs be updated somehow for windows 7! And that its not my rig!P.S. I was being modest about the overheating, not trying to be disrespectful....Peck out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Did you turn off automatic rebooting for BSODs?And it works on my Windows 7 rig. Same for all the devs. Besides, a usermode app like uTorrent can't just magically crash the whole damn OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Guess what, that thread sides with us, not you.What network adapter are you using to get online with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 "P.S. I was being modest about the overheating, not trying to be disrespectful...."To your credit the clock details are far more than most posters give...but it's honestly likely to be a red herring even if you were overclocking. 1st link in my signature is the list of stuff we desperately need to do a decent troubleshoot, but most of that "legwork" you have to do yourself since you have access to those computers...not us."my point is utorrent needs be updated somehow for windows 7!"If Windows 7 is broken, which seems the most likely explanation so far, sadly uTorrent's makers can't fix it. They've had a hard enough time getting major flaws in Wine fixed...and that even has sourcecode documentation! Half-assed workarounds only encourage Microsoft's bad products. Better to get some hard evidence and yell at Microsoft (through the media) till it gets fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peck1234 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well I moved on to the 2.0 beta and all is back to normal...So ill be sticking with this build until further notice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thuan Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 So I installed Windows 7 x64 on my machine (a fresh one) and indeed using utorrent 1.8.4 latest build causes my machine to slow down after 1 to 2 hours to the point only a hard reset can cure it. When I don't have utorrent started it runs fine around half a day as I have been testing. Anyway I'm using the latest 2.0 beta now as the OP and it works fine without any problem.An important point is I do not have this issue with older version of utorrent (1.8.3 or 1.8.4 older build as I don't remember exactly) around the time the Windows 7 RTM was released on MSDN so I doubt MS could break anything between RTM build before commercial release and after it. Because the code was already frozen.EDIT: Forgot to mention 1.8.5 RC does have this problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
