Gnutella Forums - Ive searched and Im not sure if this has been covered yet...

Hey there peoples! Long time (off and on) user of Limewire.

Just recently I reformatted my computer (read: 2 months ago) and I have all of my stuff in order so I decided to re-download Limewire (from download.com). For the firts few weeks it worked just as I had remembered, fast download, good search results, etc. But just last week, I had the weirdest bug come out from, seemingly, no where... After about 3-8 minutes of staying open and doing its thing, my computer screen would go black for a few seconds, then a blue screen with a LOT of technical information would pop up for maybe half a second, then my computer would restart.

I wasnt sure if it was Limewire or not but just to be sure that one of my.... ahem... "downloads" wasnt the reason I scanned them and they checked out. So I reopened thinking that it was just a one time thing. Well, sure enough, after 3-8 minutes of staying open it did the same thing again.

I turn off the computer and leave it off for the next few days and when i come back I leave Limewire off for an hour just to see whats up. I turn it on again and it does it again. I actually uninstall and reinstall Limewire 5 times... Same thing, except now when I turn it on, my whole computer gets a little funky. But when I turn it off before the 3-8 minutes... my ENTIRE computer returns to normal and actually runs better than I have seen it run since I formatted.

I uninstalled Limewire and am a little scared to download it again unless there is some sort of solution to the 3-8 minutes blue screen funk fest interval! T_T

Any help or suggestions are appreciated and sorry for the long story.
