Computer randomly restarts when running bittorrent....anyone else?

[UberDave]

It's seriously pissing me off. Probably ~10 minute intervals or so.

Mine resets whenever the files gets to 98%. I have to go back the the site, and continue the file everytime.

Such is the way.

Are you guys running 3.1 (I think that's the latest version)? I usually use Donkax or TV Torrents and haven't had any problems (knock on wood).

No problems here.... bittorrent works awesome! Though there was a problem with older versions of emule causing the same problem when finishing files on "some" computers. I wonder if changing the priority of bittorrent would help (like lowering it's priority).

I've heard about this but don't get it myself. BT uses loads of cpu to finish off the file so stuff is going to happen. Apparently if you turn off the reboot on critical error thing somewhere windows options (I could easily find it but can't remember its exact location) it should stop. Instead you will get a blue screen when the file finishes so all you have to do is hit enter to continue rather than completely restart.
