I get a BSOD whenever I try using a BitTorrent client for some reason. I have tried using uTorrent as well Vuze (Azureus) but both give me a BSOD. I have also noticed that sometimes instead of the common "Blue Screen" I get just a giant pile of colours and a really weird noise comes. I don't know why. I've seen other websites saying its a network problem but they never provide a solution.
