Win 7 crash from uTorrent I think...

Yo Doyle789,

Changing your internet to wireless isn't necessarily going to solve the problem.

I've only ever used wireless internet and I still had this problem.

I tried to look for a solution and used google to upgrade every driver I could think of but nothing seemed to work.

As such, I decided to use a windows xp driver for my wireless card and this solved the problem, however, it presented itself with a new problem..

While my computer no longer froze my internet had huge lag spikes and often disconnected.

In the end I found that every windows 7 driver I downloaded off the internet for my wireless card caused my computer to freeze, so I decided to upgrade my driver manually from the computer and have it search for the updated driver itself. I don't know why but this seemed to solve the problem.

Hey guys... I'm new to forums but i just gotta share with you this in hope that you will help me out here.

I too am encountering problems with uTorrent on Windows 7 x64. After a couple of mins downloading, my computer freezes and ONLY option is to power down. The sad thing is.... im using a Wireless adsl router from D-link ( DSL- 2470B -C4 SEA version).

Id really appreciate it if you have any opinions on this matter.

P.S; like all others... i too have detected the culprit which is uTorrent by using the elimination process using SafeMode+Networking. Tried older versions of uTorrent but to no avail...

I use windows 7 ultimate x64. I started trying versions of utorrent from newer to older one from 2.2 up to 1.8 they all crashed after about 30 seconds. Finally, 1.7.7 (build 8179) worked fine, and oh, I checked run in windows vista compatibility.

i have the same issue at home
i think its the anti virus and not the network card.
and why its 20min then shut down my hard drive??....oh god...

After a lot of testing by going to safe mode, safe mode with internet. Putting graphics card in taking graphics card out, putting d-link wireless card in, taking wireless card out etc. It seems that the problem lies in the D-link card.
The problem was masked because both cards were in.
System is running at the moment but without the D-Link AWA510EU Adapter.
(I am on my laptop to get into the Internet.
So now the problem has been isolated to the D-link.
I have downloaded the drivers but that does not fix the problem.
So I agree with the other guys. The D-Link does seem to pose a problem.

Any ideas on the D-link. I have downloaded the drivers but that does not fix the problem.

Hi guys, i started using utorrent 3.1, i got hacked . after a few minutes of downloading i recieved requests to allow other users to access my network, when i denied them access my speed went down to eventually shutting down my ISP. i ended up reinstalling utorrent 1.8.2 and haven't had any problems since. so don't use 3.1 it's nothing but trouble.....
