Old computer: p4 2.0, 640 pc800 Rambus, Netgear Fast Ethernet switched from 3 Com Fast Ethernet, Windows XP Sp2 firewall off, behind NAT
Bit Torrents:
Azureus crashes system on install and run
So I used to use Edonkey BT
Recently using Shareaza
When I used to use edonkey on the old computer it would run fine for months.
Then suddenly crash as soon as it got up to speed on downloads and uploads, I didn't even think of error checking so I would reformat.
I bought a new computer, and Edonkey died so now I use Shareaza.
Three or four weeks and several downloads down, and now I have the same issues on the old computer.
This time I was smart enough to do research
BSOD: IRQ not less than or equal error report
Event Viewer: category 102, event 1003
I learned from searching:
It could be Windows Xp security limited TCPs, which I tried the patch to unlimit, even though I don't have problems for a long time, or on my new computer.
It could be shared IRQs causing the problems, so fixed by making my ethernet card on it's on IRQ, again why after Time?
It could be my router causing the crash because of the same TCP issues... this one confused me... since I had Installed Shareaza on my new computer first and downloaded the same files , no crashes.
It could be my Ethernet card's drivers, so I tried a new one, but it's still an older driver(2003), besides, it worked for a while then crapped out, what's the deal with that?
If this is the problem does anyone know of a "newer" ethernet card?
It could be my memory, so I am testing it now with memtest86....No errors in 2 passes
----Found another solution on a Random Google.
Seems the answer wasn't "Update Network card Driver", I found a site with an OLDER non-certified driver that seems to be the answer, go figure.
