Blue Screen of Death, apparently they have a name for it now?(x
Anyways, not to sure why it would do this?
Did you have any torrents downloading with viruses in them?
Try uTorrent maybe. If the same thing happens, its the torrent, not the client.

This has happened to me before. I couldn't get it to stop or find the cause so I just uninstalled uTorrent and installed Vuze which fixed the problem. I did reinstall windows on that computer later and I was able to use uTorrent without any problems. It seems like some of the programs are conflicting.

PS. My operating system on that comp was XP Professional x32.

I've never heard of such a thing. Perhaps it's coincidence or a freak accident.

But it's not a unique observation according to google. Try a nice virus scan, for starters.

I have that problem before with my Window Vista and NOD 32. People said because they are not match? So that crash together and create this blue screen thing. I'm not expert on this, you should ask Microsoft (if you ask them, don't tell them bit torrent) or ask Bittorrent.

Sounds like a driver conflict or something, though BT software shouldn't be installing that kind of thing. uTorrent is fine, though, just use that instead (which you said you were doing anyway).

It's always been called the "blue screen of death," as long as I can remember.
