| Computer crashes / reboots when downloading p2p
Basically my computer reboots itself instantly after downloading using p2p software after a certain period of time.
This time is usually 15-20 minutes. For example I'm downloading using Limewire now, the file I'm downloading is at 4.2% and my computer has rebooted 5 times up to this point.
With Limewire running my computer will just go -ZIP- and I have a blackscreen and my computer is booting up again.
This isn't a recent problem, I've had it for months but never figured it out.
It only occurs with p2p downlods.
Perhaps it is my internet provider? Viruses?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks. |

@co.u | I've checked this eventviewer and I don't recognise anything around the time of a reboot. That said I've stopped using Limewire until I can find a valid solution to the problem so sometime I'll wait for a reboot to prompt a 'clue'. |

@co.u | Ok it crashed.
I checked Application, System & Security.
There are no messages around the crash.
No error messages ever appear, its as though the plug is pulled on the computer. |

Re: Computer crashes / reboots when downloading p2p
Scan for viruses just in case but it could be a driver failure also. Too many connections then an NIC or motherboard driver crashes and forces a reboot by killing a vital process, I had a similar problem with one of the old P3 boards and an nvidia TNT driver conflicting when I played games. Try uninstalling then cleaning out traces and change driver versions if possible. Took me awhile to figure that out on the old pc but it worked. Could even be just a driver that is merely unstable which that would also fix. |
