Bittorrent potential BSOD

This is my first time running Bittorrent, so it might not be bittorrent's fault, however all signs point to it.

I tried for the first time to use bittorrent last night. After not more than 5 minutes, I receive my first
BSOD in Windows 2000. After I reboot, started bittorrent up again, and within 5 minues another BSOD.
Decided to give up, because it was late, and this morning tried again, and within 5 minutes a 3rrd BSOD.

Like I said it might not be Bittorrents fault, but all signs point to something bittorrent is doing, trying to do,
or using is causing this.

Does anyone know of any hardware bittorrent has problems with. I do have an integrated 3Com Nic.
However I don't believe bittorrent should be crashing a computer. But one never knows.

I appreciate any replies.
 
Thanks bunker, from getting my NIC card to work under linux, I bet this is the reason, I'll try to drivers out and see if it helps.

I have an older Linksys card in my older box that I was trying to run BT on and I spent a week with drivers, uninstall/reinstall, etc... before I gave up and put it on another machine.
 
I had the same problem in Windows; using the official BT client with my Linksys LNE100TX would cause a bluescreen and reboot every 10min or so. Under Linux and on OSX BT has been stable as a rock. (Official OSX client, experimental "shadow" client under Gentoo.)
 
I actually have the 3Com 910 integrated chip based of the 3CSOHO100B-Tx card.

Forcing (i stress that) windows to use the ADMTek newest drivers fixed all the problems.

Linux isn't a problem, but then again, I am downloading linux isos since my linux drive just
died.

Oh and thanks for all the help.
