    i've used utorrent for a few months now and everything's worked out fine. In the past few days i switched from norton antivirus to kaspersky. Today, I tried downloading a song using my utorrent client. The computer restarts a few seconds after i select "download", going to a blue screen with grey writing for a second before restarting. It doesn't stay on the blue screen long enough for me really read any of it. Just a few minutes ago i got the same blue screen followed by a restart without trying to download anything. I scanned everything the kaspersky antivirus and it says all is well. Any ideas?

    i don't know the code for the error or anything, all i have to time to read on the blue screen is that a problem has occurred or something along those lines.
    I looked in the event viewer and there are a bunch of "error"s in the log. I double click on them and it says in the text box.
    "The IP address lease 192.168.0.103 for the Network Card with network address 001F3A670815 has been denied by the DHCP server 0.0.0.0 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message)."

    Search in 'Event Viewer' for recent Save Dump events. Open it and post all the info here.
