My uTorrent version is v3.5.1, a stable version.
after checking with the Microsoft debugger tool, it seem like the same file
(ntoskrnl.exe) crashed in the 3 minidumps with a different NT+ with some
numbers and
letters in (), always different everytime.
The time stamps always seem to be during the AM time between 4h and 7h am.
My computer always reboot fine after a BSOD, Windows is not telling me about a
missing or corrupted ntoskrnl.exe file.
My previous minidumps are about an Nvidia video driver, so it doesn't matter
with
Peerblock...and i think i fixed the problem with an update.
So i would like to know if Peerblock is causing my PC to crash/BSOD like that...

Does this only happen using when fiddling around with uTorrent?
If it does, you might want to get the official uTorrent which is at version
1.8.5

There is no uTorrent v 3.5.1 (latest stable release is 1.8.5 (build 17414),
latest
untable/beta releases are 2.0/2.1)

ah yes sorry, it's uTorrent v1.8.5. Very sorry...
Well, i also noticed it happen during the morning between 4am and 7am. During
the
morning of Dec.25, i was reading a new manga i received, and my computer just
rebooted by itself, while i had uTorrent downloading files and PeerBlock open.
As i said before, i don't think i had this problem before with PeerGuardian,
before
updating to PeerBlock.

i will try running uTorrent without PeerBlock for a while maybe a week or two,
so
i'll see if the problem is really caused by PeerBlock or not.
I think it might be possible that a software could make a critical Windows file
crash, thus making Windows crash and BSOD...

yes, it seem like the BSODs was caused by PeerBlock! i used uTorrent v1.8.5
alone now
and my computer never crashed!

Hmm, looks like memory corruption... =;( NOT good. Will continue looking into
these crashes. Might need to start running PeerBlock through Driver Verifier
in a VM
or something to try and chase down issues that could be causing this.

i often play games that require a lot of memory, and i never had a BSOD, so i
don't
think it's corrupted memory. I have done a few tests in MemTest86+ v1.70 and my
2 RAM
sticks doesn't seem to have corrupted memory on them (2 x Kingston 1gb DDR400
PC3200).
I never had a BSOD before caused by stable game releases. The only game crashes
i
encountered was in Entropia Universe (now called Planet Calypso) with the tons
of
drivers issues and bugs, and also tons of complains because of constant crashes
with
Nvidia video cards drivers.
So i think there's a programming problem in PeerBlock. I noticed in the
programmer
blog that there seem to have a very rare crash bug that might cause a BSOD.
That bug
might not be that rare though, it's just that most peoples are not reporting it
thinking it's something else or just Windows bug or something (ignorance is
bliss...)

I meant that since you've made a good case for PeerBlock being the root cause
of this
problem, our driver is likely the problem here. We're probably scribbling all
over
the heap or something. Hence the reason I noted that we should start running
Driver
Verifier to help chase down whatever we're doing wrong.
Driver Verifier will intentionally crash your system as soon as it suspects
wrongdoing on the part of your driver, hopefully letting us trap the error as it
happens instead of trying to backtrack from already-corrupted memory.
(Corrupted
meaning "been overwritten by a different process", not "bad memory"...) We
know that
Driver Verifier complains about at least some aspects of our driver already, we
simply haven't yet really had much of a reason to go hunting for bugs there
though -
the problem it most often complains about is generally benign.
Sorry for the confusion...

i'm glad this is not taken lightly

This has been bugging me for a week now. Thought it was my memory or external
drive
error, but they were confirmed fine after memtesting and scanning thedisk. I
kept
getting bsod with just utorrent 1.8.5 and PeerBlock as the only things open in
Vista.
Will try running utorrent without PeerBlock and see what happens.

Update: My BSOD is not related to Peerblock as it still happened without
Peerblock
running. Going to investigate if my wireless network driver needs updating
next...

well my computer did crashed this morning...but this time the "probable cause"
(as it
says in WinDbg) is a file called "ipnat.sys", so the crash is different from
the ones
i previously reported here.
And i wasn't running Peerblock when it crashed, only uTorrent v1.8.5

I've been running Peer Block for over a month now, and I've been experiencing
the same thing (memory corruption caused by Peer Block), but only when I'm
running process- and memory-intense applications. (Namely, this occurs
regularly when running multiple EVE-Online clients and long-running Python
scripts.)
I'm running on an Intel duo-core 3.00 GHz. (This is entirely unrelated to the
known EVE-Online dual-core bug that requires affinity to be set for each client
- running with affinities set and Peer Block off produces no error.)
Minidump attached.

Have you uncheckt that speed limiter in the utorrent settings? It may do some
problems. For me it blocks complete the download speed. An it creates also
stability problems sometimes.
Under setting "Brandwith Managment". Try once with uncheck this.

@theraptor01
Could you run a chkdsk on your hard drive as it seems like your crashes might
be to do with a bad hard drive.

Anybody found a resolution to this problem? It describes my situation exactly..

When I run PeerBlock, it always causes BSOD. Unluckily I checked Run When
Windows Starts in installer. Now my Windows XP SP3 crashes each time I start my
OS. I include 2 minidumps and peerblock.log created by Windows. I am currently
running LUbuntu 10.04.3 LTS. I will delete peerblock.exe to prevent it from
starting each time I boot Windows. That should solve the problem.
