Default Can't troubleshoot this problem

I must say that I've never run into this issue before and I'm fairly puzzled by what's going on.

I put together my new rig yesterday and everything booted up fine.

DFI Ultra-D NF4
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Corsair XMS DDR400 2GB
eVGA 7600GT 256MB
Samsung Spinmaster 250GB SATA
Onboard audio, LAN, etc.

So I upgraded most of the drivers as well, I still have to update the BIOS.

Here's the problem, it seems that when I leave my computer running with azureus in the background it crashes bluescreen on me and does a reset. I don't think it's a driver issue due to the fact that I played oblivion for 3 hours prior to that. It just seems that the system crashes while using torrents. Any insight on this will be helpful... I need to download some new software.

my thought is you have a problem with torrents.

Do you have the latest version? Have you checked if there are any issues with torrent and your setup?

I was thinking that was well, however since I've had this setup running for less than 24 hours I'll see if it might be something else.

I did get the latest version, however I will try a downloading again.

AFAIK, Azureus still leaks memory like a sieve, use edonkey2k or something to handle your torrents.

uTorrent is by far the best torrent client availble.

Cynos right, Azureus is buggy and not very stable.

I would think gaming would put more of a strain than downloading on the PSU, don't you?

True there would be more drive activity with downloading, but the processor and vid card shouldn't be sucking as much juice.
