BSOD while running utorrent.

Alright, I will do it at the weekend and I will only install uTorrent to start with, if I get another BSOD. It's really wierd. Today I had only 1 active download. And it downloaded 7 GB and worked for 12h without a BSOD, plus a 400 MB download that I added about half way through. So maybe the System File Checker help somehow. I will add 10 large downloads and let uTorrent work for a few days. If I get another BSOD I will do the clean install at the weekend. I'll let you know how it turns out. And thank you for your time and help!

I have had SFC say it found no integrity violations and actually make corrections to my system, so it is possible it did work without notifying you. In my case, it was just that I had some corrupted restore points it removed, but who knows why it did not tell me it corrected any problems.

Sadly it did not help. Still got the BSOD when I added more downloads. I guess the network drivers can't handle large traffic or something. I'll do the clean installation of windows tomorrow.

Alright, best wishes the clean install fixes it.

The clean installation of Windows is done and seems that the problem is solved, but it's still to early to tell. uTorrent has been running for a few hours with 8 large downloads and no BSOD yet (before, with this sort of traffic, the BSOD-s came almost instantly or at least within an hour). I'll let the program run for 24 hours and then report back.

Also I haven't installed any drivers, programs or updates yet(only mozilla, utorrent and ventrilo).

Alright. Install drivers, programs, and updates one at a time (I know this will be tedious) if you want to determine which is the cause. Alternatively, you could make a system image of your current setup with

Imaging with free Macrium

or

Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

and install everything at once, then go back if you need to and install one at a time the software/drivers/updates that you think may be responsible.

The problem seems to be solved. uTorrent has been running for more then 16 hours now, with high traffic. Also I've installed all the programs, games and drivers I had when I got the BSOD-s. The only thing that I haven't installed are windows updates. If I ever find out what update actually caused it, I will post it here.

Thank you for your time and help!

You're welcome. Let us know whether you have problems after the updates or not. If it stays stable after updates, you may mark the thread solved. :)

I also recommend making a system image once everything is running as you like it so if you have any problems in the future, you have a good point to go back to.

Just to let you know, I finally figured out what caused it. It was an optional update that updated my network driver and since the latest network drivers are buggy, it caused the BSODs.

Thank you for posting back what resolved it. Glad you were able to track it down. Those types of driver problems are rare and often very difficult to find due to their rarity. Well done!
