Windows 7: BSOD caused by torrents - WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IRQL

daiodine · 03 Dec 2012

It consistently happens whenever I try to download anything via torrent. I know that's what's causing it, because even if uTorrent is open for a few minutes, and just seeding some torrents, it will crash dump.

If it can go for a while without crashing, I can usually force it to by running any program that taxes the system at all, like playing a game or video.
