mal Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Since I got a new computer, bitcomet has been crashing after a few minutes of downloading (the latest attempt lasted 9 minutes) - all I was doing was downloading a couple of torrents, but it's happened just downloading one torrent too. I've tried 0.73 and 0.70, same result each time. There are no error messages on windows XP's Event Viewer either. Also, when I start Bitcomet again, it doesn't remember how far it got in the download when it crashed, so I have to start again from scratch. I have Windows XP Home SP2, a dualcore AMD64 3800x2 CPU, Asus M2N32-SLI motherboard, 250GB SATA Seagate HDD, and 2GB DDR2 RAM. I've tried finding reasons for this to no avail - one rumour is that the dual core CPU is the problem. I've tried setting the affinity for Bitcomet to 1 CPU in the task manager to make it run on one CPU, and that hasn't stopped it from crashing. The interesting thing is that I tried Azureus and it crashed after a few minutes too. Limewire also keels over for no apparent reason sometimes. This never happened on my old computer (a single core AMD XP2100+), and my current computer has no viruses or spyware. I am suspecting that there is a hardware problem here somehow that is clashing with P2P for some reason. I had XP Home SP2 before on the old computer and used 0.70 and it didn't crash then, so unlesst the reason is some recent Windows Update I don't think software is causing the problem. I sent an error report to bitcomet, though I couldn't actually READ it - I found the crash.dmp file but I can't read it in a text editor - is there a way for me to read it? I would really like to figure out what the problem is here because it's very frustrating.

mal Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Just tried again with 0.70, and it crashed again after about 8 minutes of downloading. Exactly the same as before, nothing showing in Event Viewer. Here's the errorlog.txt file again - definitely seems that the ntdll.dll file is connected to this...: BitComet caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module ntdll.dll at 001b:7c918fea.

mal Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Tried replacing ntdll.dll file from dll-files.com, and this time 0.70 lasted 15 minutes before dying the same way. 0.70 does seem to last longer than 0.73 though, but it still crashes in the same way eventually. Fortunately the manual hash check that I found mention of elsewhere here allows me to restart from where it really left off, so it's annoying but not as bad as it was initially. Still, I'm at a loss here. Anyone got any idea how to resolve this?! EDIT (a few hours later) : It also crashes whether there's other applications running or not - I just popped out for a couple of hours and left it running on its own and it crashed only a few minutes after I left. Yet since I came back and restarted it and have been surfing the web, it's been running fine for 40 minutes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Another observation - it seems to crash a lot more frequently if the torrent has lots of seeds/peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitdave Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Perhaps you will find your solution somewhere in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Perhaps you will find your solution somewhere in this thread Thanks, but the only possible solution on that thread that is relevant to me is that it may be related to NVidia Firewall, but that isn't installed (I do have an NVidia 7600GT video card though - but checking the settings, the firewall is turned off at startup). Otherwise, I've never installed Norman, Norton, or Netlimiter so they can't be the issue. I've posted quite extensive bug reports here, I would have thought this would give developers some more specific clues to get a more targeted response...

mal Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Aha! I think I've found the problem. While the NVidia Firewall wasn't active, it WAS on the system. It turns out that I had "NVidia Network Access Manager" installed though. I've just uninstalled that and now the bitcomet isn't crashing out every minute or so. So this may have been the root of the problem. I'll post an update later when it's been running for a while - if it stays up then that's what was causing the trouble. Either way, it doesn't appear to be a bug in BC specifically. EDIT: I am very confident that removing the entire Nvidia Network Access Manager package has solved the problem. BC has now been running for longer than it ever has been on this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanet Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi mal Can you tall me where is the "NVidia Network Access Manager" because I have some problem just like you and I'm such a stupid can't find that thing . thank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoryogurt Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi mal Can you tall me where is the "NVidia Network Access Manager" because I have some problem just like you and I'm such a stupid can't find that thing . thank thanet, Go to "control panel", then to "add/remove programs". If you have it installed it should show up in there. I just built a new computer myself and was having the exact same problem. Removed the access manager and it seems to be working...so far at least.
