snarler45 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 So NOD32 WAS causing the BSOD?I turned off NOD32 but did not unistall because of a lack of time. uTorrent has been up for more than 9 hours and is still going. I should report that I before I turned off NOD and the system crashed - I set the disk cache to manual and 64 Meg. I also have an error message cannot write resume data when I set a particular torrent downloading. The system CPU is up at 100% but the torrent is still coming down.So I stopped what I think is the offending torrent and the system is still jammed at 100% cpu doing nothing. I have no active AV so what AV does utorrent like?I will completely uninstall NOD and see what happens.CheersNOD32 unloaded and my system is behaving. What AV should I use?

Ultima Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Kaspersky's one of the best commercial antivirus. As far as free, AVG or ClamWin are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as free, AVG or ClamWin are good.I'll try Kaspersky again - I used to use it but switched to NOD because it is better and less of a memory hog. Kaspersky Anti Hacker does not work with uTorrent so I hope the AV does.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 2006 with µTorrent just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarler45 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 2006 with µTorrent just fine.I think I have solved my problems - I unistalled NOD32 and have had no CPU overloads or BSOD events for 12 hours - running with no AV etc. I have installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2006 and everything is working very well - no CPU overload or BSOD.I will now stop moaning and love utorrent again.Thanks for the suggestions and help.FYI my system is a crappy old PIII 600Mhz with 500 MB RAM and XPSP2 running Kaspersky 2006.

snarler45 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 snarler45: lol you better ;PI wish I was Ultima (I did think so). My downloading system is working better but I have had 2 BSOD problems and one utorrent crash error in the last day. The latest BSOD did not have any driver error messages the stop message was:0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X80575FD5, 0XF7EFF860, 0XF7EFF55C)I have mem dumps if they are of use 50K and 6.2 MegsAfter a crash while the torrents are being checked the CPU load on my system is 100% - is this normal?I think I will try another system but will have to wait till this evening - wage slavery today - I will use a more powerful box because a 600MHz PIII is a bit weedy and it has been on 24X7 for years (a lot of torrents). I am a bit sceptical because I have done a lot of software testing and a crappy slow box is the best way to find probs (provided the kit is up to the required spec).

I have been suffering various attacks and it seems they may have been part of the problem.Ho hum. I'm not sure what to do if my security applications don't stop my box crapping out. I should know becuase I am a networking consultant - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Try uninstalling Kaspersky then? Only thing I can suggest... If you're getting out of memory and aren't actually out of memory, then it seems like Kaspersky is leaking GDI handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 HijackThis and Process Viewer can find malware that antivirus and antispyware software miss.But you have to know how to read their output to know what's good and what's bad.(I google everything I don't know about to find out if it's malware.)

I have the odd BSOD sometimes with a driver error message sometimes not. I will change out my hardware (ie new system) when I can find the time.

snarler45 Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I was getting random BSOD problems - all different drivers and sometime no driver. I also used to get random windows has run out of memory problems that would crap out the system. I increase my system ram to 768MB and have had 3 days of smooth running. I suppose I have just screwed myself now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hm, I wonder if the problem was because of defective RAM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Defective ram seems possible -- adding more may simply be causing the damaged part/s to only be accessed if ram is nearly full -- or in other words nearly never now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Public Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I posted a while back in this thread about the computer crashing, but I forgot to come back and tell you I found out what really was wrong. Seems it was due to a slowly dying NIC. In the end the computer crashed even when I just attempted to access the local network, so after switching NICs everything is fine again, even uTorrent. So, sorry for blaming it on your software. *blush* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 µTorrent is often just the 'canary in a coal mine' that crashes when something ELSE bad is going on.It's all too easy to shoot/blame the messenger.Just glad to hear it works now.

rafiss Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I have been having this computer crash problem too. It only happens when uTorrent is running, but I know that it is not necessarily this program's fault. I disabled automatic restarts so I can give the error message that comes up in the BSOD. Hopefully someone will be able to interpret it and give a suggestion. I have none of the incomptabile software from the FAQ, and the only new software I have is the latest uTorrent update (1.6.xx). No new hardware either. None of the solutions so far from this thread can help either.--A problem has been detected etc. etc.PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREAIf this is the first time you've seen this screen, restart your computer. If you see it again read directions:Blah, BlahTechnical information:***STOP: 0x00000050 (0x8c62FECC, 0x00000008, 0x8c62FECC, 0x00000000)Dumping Physical Memory--Please, any help would be great.
