deleting turrent files

[Nyking754]

hey guys im gonna need a little help here
my computer has this problem where it sometimes gets a I/O device error when it dls my anime
but thats not the real problem
the real problem is that when i dl these files the comp sometimes crashes and gives me the blue screen
other times i could just go and delete the file b4 the comp crashes
right now i cant delete the files cuz whenever i open up my torrent program my computer crashes (i dont mean the video files in the downloads directory, ive deleted those)
ive tried reinstalling the torrent program but the torrents are still there
so wat i want to know is how to reinstall the torrent program(utorrent) without the torrent files in them
basically having it the same way it is when i just installed it

What OS are you using, if you are using windows 7 use system restore.

Did this start happening when you installed something recently or has it always been an issue?

delete the uTorrent folder in this directory



just type %appdata% in windows explorer and it should take you straight to that folder (hidden files/folders must be shown)

Seems like a serious case of a failing hard disk. I'd get that replaced asap if I were you....

i loled, misread the title for this:


well anyway, sounds like driver or OS problem, try updating every single driver, if that doesnt solve it, try reinstalling your OS.

you need to say the FF:
- Your OS name and version
- Utorrent name and version
- Computer Specifications like Processor, motherboard model and etc.(might be your PC itself has the issue, ie. using a sandybridge without the B3 motherboard, seriously dangerous)
- Anti-Virus name(if you dont have one then "you know what" is killing your PC)
- Are you using Raid? which type?

I think I'll quote this, since I have very bad experiences with I/O-device errors. I've had it twice, and twice my HDD died!

So if you keep getting weird errors that might be disk related, you'll have to check your HDD (diagnostic tools, simple Windows chkdisk is kinda useless in such a case).
Common errors are corrupted files, HDD making ticking sounds, constant showup of windows chkdisk when you boot up.

Or, your HDD is overheating. Which is the more common cause. Open up then case, get a fan blowing on it and try the same. If you have games or other I/O intensive stuff running, pause and retry.

If all else fails, what the folks above said. A RMA is the absolute last option.
