    Not what you want to hear - stay away from torrents :)

    Set up the computer so that it does not automatically restart on system failure .....

    Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings ....

    Under System failure uncheck 'Automatically restart' and under Write debugging information select 'Kernel memory dump' from the dropdown list and OK out.

    The computer will now show the BSOD in the event of a System failure giving details of the Stop message and the contents of the memory will be dumped to disk.

    Run the dump data through our Dump Data Collection Tool and post the log here (copy/paste).

    If you check the Options in BitComet under Tools and then goto Integration is the Start BitComet when login Windows Checked ?

    If so then uncheck it and see if this takes care of the problem.

    We are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept. However, we will warn you that engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to Malware/Virus infections. It may be contributing to your current situation. This page will give you further information.

    Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares and their infections.

    References for the risk of these programs are here, and here.

    I would strongly recommend that you uninstall them!
