Solved BSOD when using a BitTorrent Client.

[MilkForBones]

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.

First could you explain the contents of your hosts file to me?:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost

The entries highlighted in red tell me you have pirated software on your computer, we do not support Pirated software on this forum.
